Does anyone else think that the government should open up BREASTMILK banks in all local places?

  Wow, after doing a little research (and I do mean 'a little'), it seems that breast milk is more homeopathic than I thought. I knew about the pink eye thing, but here are some other common ailments that breast milk helps with:

  
  

   Diaper rash, Sore Throat, Make-up Removal (!!!), Mosquito Bites, Stuffy Nose and Ear Infections.

  
  

  Wow. Maybe CafeMom should start a company that makes homeopathic remedies made with breast milk. Too bad it can't help with negative attitudes towards breast feeding. You could just walk around squirting people all day long.

  No offense but are you guys stupid? They screen the mothers that donate JUST like they screen sperm and blood donors. And you think it's gross to give your own baby your breast milk? *laughs* wow!

  There is a breastmilk bank at a University here who takes donations from all over the state, you have to have a prescription to get it though. They also use on transplant patients and people with other immune issues because they says it's good for them too! I was going to donate to them, but the old man got kind of freaked out at the thought of anyone other than our son drinking my breastmilk, lol men are soooo funny sometimes.

  I doubt the majority of people would go for that. There's nothing to replace your blood but well other blood, but there is more then one way to feed a baby. You can die without blood if you lose yours but your baby can sustain life on formula if you so choose that.

  Breast Milk is gross, my breast were not on my baby's menu. Yuck! Besides that would work as well as blood transfusions that were screened and people still got diseases. Good luck with this non-sense
