Feed My Baby
Another reader, Suz, passed on this interesting story of a mom unable to breastfeed her children due to a double masectomy as a result of breast cancer. She's on baby #2 and looking for donations (milk and / or money). You can read all about it at Feed My Baby. The milk at $2.75/ounce is costly but worth every drop. For those who are plentiful, and can donate, here is a listing of milk banks in the United States:
