[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They supplement during relactatation with milk they've expressed?

Their country doesn't provide formula to poor people (which even the US does), and their country doesn't  provide clean water to poor people (even the US does that), but they have access to a milk bank and to a SNS? (What kind of water do they wash the SNS in?)

What country is this?[/quote]

Why do you want to know?

They keep it in the fridge and boil at night. After boiling the water they'll use inext day. The issue with formula is not just dirty water but the lack of education. Relatives try to "help" and convince the mom to water down the formula, to add corn starch to it or rice/oatmeal flour to make it thicker, etc. They prefer to tell mom to stick to BM. Which we all know is the best option. [/quote]

Maybe when you say "milk bank", you mean something different from what I mean when I say "milk bank"?

When I say "milk bank", I mean an organization that accepts, pasteurizes, and dispenses donor human milk. I'm finding it hard to imagine a country where the public infrastructure is bad enough for poor people to have no access to clean water, refrigeration, or affordable formula but good enough for poor women to have access to an organization that accepts, pasteurizes, and affordably dispenses donor human milk (and SNSes). That's why I want to know what country it is.[/quote]

That's exactly what a milk bank is in my country and there's also free baby care classes, free LCs, free supplies for moms who donate milk, the firefighters to pick up the donations twice a week from the donors house. While you keep talking like that you'll be left to do your own research. Show some respect and I might share the info you're looking for. [/quote]

Please move this argument to a different thread.  You are detracting from the OP's serious issue.[/quote]

Pp actually asked a question. [/quote]
