Do you know the many sources of all the cow's milk you drink.</p> <p>We donated to a friend's child who had 4 or 5 different donors :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interesting-donated-breastmilk-article#post-561942 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:50:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 561942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't trust internet strangers, but seems to have worked for them. I said on the other breast milk donation thread-- unless I had a preemie, I wouldn't take the breast milk for my healthy baby because there are sick babies who need it more. (I plan to EBF, but this is if it just didn't work out for me for some reason). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interesting-donated-breastmilk-article#post-561424 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:13:58 +0000 loveisstrange 561424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah.... good for them, if that's what made them happy. I'd never, ever do it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/interesting-donated-breastmilk-article#post-561408 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 07:58:52 +0000 betsyboop 561408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/11/picking-source-of-babys-milk/" rel="nofollow">http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/11/picking-source-of-babys-milk/</a></p> <p>I'm in the 'I'd rather feed my LO formula' camp for several of the reasons cited in the article, but it was interesting to see that the parents of twins were willing to collect milk from so many different people! </p>
