Prolacta & the International Breast Milk Project

I've previously written about Prolacta and their shady way of doing business, but it turns out that even worse than I'd suspected.

Jen at The Lactivist has done an excellent job, asking the right questions of the right people and exposing Prolacta's involvement in the International Breast Milk Project. IBMP was started with the best of intentions, but it has evolved into a money making scheme that takes advantage of women's generosity.

The IBFS blog has picked up the ball and is running with it. This is a story which deserves your attention.

In the Boston area, people are working tirelessly and passionately to establish a milk bank. This milk bank will be affiliated with the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBNA) and will be a non-profit entity.

If you are in a position to donate breast milk, please do so. There are critically ill infants who desperately need your help. But please, please make sure you know to whom you're donating that most precious gift.
