Look at all the people sho get HIV after transfusions, even though the blood has been tested. Sometimes the antibodies don't show up for six months.Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149012708177902501.post-14383501503632877522008-09-26T11:25:00.000-06:002008-09-26T11:25:00.000-06:00Pretty strange. When my David was hosptialized I ...Pretty strange. When my David was hosptialized I kept pumping milk. Ten days later I had a huge bag of frozen milk to take home. I asked the hospital if I could donate it to those who needed it. They said I could but that it's so difficult because you have to do all sorts of tests and paperwork just to donate it for free. I didn't do it and just took it home to add to my freezer. They say that because it comes from humans and is a bodily fluid that they need to make sure there are no diseases to pass on etc. I would find it extremely difficult to see Ben& Jerry's being able to control this. I'm sure some women would love to harvest their milk but not me. <BR/><BR/>Oh and while I was at the hospital my sister-in-law brought brownies to share with the staff and they were extremely hesitant to eat them. They explained that a mother had come in to express gratitude with brownies and as they were eating them said that since she ran out of milk to make them so she just used her breast milk. They said they were all gagging and since then are very careful to accept food from people. So other people apparently think it's not big deal. I still don't think I'd want to do it though.Mary Monster Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05501724594988092356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149012708177902501.post-26382866250715628952008-09-25T19:36:00.000-06:002008-09-25T19:36:00.000-06:00Totally creepy and gross!

I can't even imagine someone else nursing my baby- <BR/>I really do believe that part of a cows purpose on this Earth is to provide milk for humans......

As for the other guy, he is in another country right? I know in the US Breast Milk is regulated. It is screened and treated as a BioHazard (think blood and urine) and has to be handled in a certain way. Once you get all the testing and screenings done, do you have any idea how EXPENSIVE a simple glass of milk is?<BR/><BR/>Now...on to regular BM...I BF both kids. I was a "master lactator" so to speak. I was always able to produce more than needed. I looked into donating but there was not a facility close enough to me to accept any donation I had. Also my mom BF all 6 of us kids, and even had babysitting gigs where she was also a wet nurse. I think hiring a wetnurse, or using donated breastmilk in extreme situations is perfectly acceptable so long as it is hadled correctly and regulated.<BR/><BR/>As for going to a restaurant and buying food made from BM, No thanks I will pass. Same goes for B&J. I would stop eating them if they started using BM.Simply AnonyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02451099553254296951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149012708177902501.post-36494522568655025022008-09-25T08:12:00.000-06:002008-09-25T08:12:00.000-06:00Yuck!
