I do not know Islamic sources well enough to know what is reliable/authoritative, but I did recently read a piece from a Muslim American think tank, opining that pooled donor milk does not create milk siblings a)because the baby never suckles another woman, b) there is no relationship when the donors are anonymous, and c) the infant's health outweighs remaining concerns. I took the article to be authoritative and did not write down a citation :( All the best, Lynn Carter OFS LLLL IBCLC *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
