[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 409526, member: 1233"] Back when Jess was born they asked for donations from moms who had extra so that the addicted babies and preemies could have it if their mothers couldn't or didn't have enough, but they did not pay for it, maybe for the testing, etc... but not for the milk. It is like blood in the US, or was at that time, and cannot be sold. The theory behind this is that mothers would deprive their kids of it and sell it if they could - and I know moms who would give their own kids formula and sell the milk if it was an option. I don't understand it, but .... Cows do not choose to use substances like alcohol and illegal drugs, all of which can be excreted in breastmilk. They also do not have the same diseases that we have, and pasteurization takes care of that. There is NO mention of pasteurization of the breast milk and it would negate some, if not many, of the benefits of breast milk so I am not at all sure this is a pasteurized product. I cannot help but remember a scene in the movie "Look Who's Talking" where Travolta's character is with the baby while the mother is dressing. He cannot find milk for his coffee so he squeezes some from the baby's bottle into his cup - then learns it is breast milk. I sure wouldn't pay that for it - the price is nuts but if you can get it??? [/QUOTE]
