MY FAMILY DOCTOR

8/16/11- Do you or does someone you know have a surplus of breast milk that you would consider donating?  Increasingly, research finds that premature babies have dramatically lower rates of medical problems when they are nourished with human breast milk.  When their mothers cannot make enough, donor milk is critical, as illustrated in this recent news article.  Here in the Denver/Boulder area, the Mothers’ Milk Bank is an invaluable resource for women who are blessed with a surplus of their own milk and the heart to donate it, as well as for moms who are in need of milk for their babies.
