An friend has asked about pumping milk for an adult male (husband and father) who has terminal cancer. It is a very tragic situation. I have searched the archives and found a few posts in Jan '97 but suspect there have been more, perhaps by private email or with different search terms? I'm thinking that it can't do any harm (the donor is healthy, HIV negative, and in a monogamous marriage) - but what is the potential for it doing good? My friend is hesitant to suggest this without also providing some kind of documentation to support the idea (of breastmilk for anyone other than babies). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Elaine (Don't even *think* about searching yahoo or snap for "breastmilk and adult" ! )
