I just got a call from a journalist at the Boston Herald (one of  
Boston's two daily papers)  who is writing an article on the  
increased demand for banked/donated milk. She had two questions that  
I couldn't answer, hope you all can help me out.

1. Where is the study or studies showing that breastfeeding has been  
increasing over the last few years? I know it's out there, but can't  
put my hands on it right now.

2. She would like to interview one or two women who have not been  
able to produce enough of their own milk, for whatever reason, who  
have tried to use banked milk. Sometimes these women succeed and  
other times, there are barriers such as the banked milk is too costly  
and they can't get insurance to cover it. If any of you knows someone  
who would be willing to be interviewed for such an article, please  
let me know and I will pass on the necessary contact info. She would  
like to find someone today (Tues 4/11) or tomorrow at the latest  
(newspapers are always on a deadline)

Thanks,
   Naomi Bar-Yam
