	Breast Pumps - Breast Milk
		If your breast pump does not collect milk in a clean storage container, begin by pouring your milk into a container designed for storing milk in the refrigerator or freezer.
		Breast milk that will be frozen should have at least one inch between the milk and the container lid.
		Store milk in the main refrigerator or freezer compartment, away from the door, to avoid changes in temperature that may compromise the milk.

	Welcome to TarlaDalal.com
		Once you start breast feeding (lactating) for the first day or two, a yellowish translucent fluid called colostrum, is secreted in place of breast milk, that is quite distinct from the breast milk.
		Breast milk contains a protein called lactalbumin, and an enzyme called amylase, that aids in digestion and converts the milk into a soft curd that is easily digested by newborns.
		A breast fed baby will also have a reduced likelihood of allergic reactions, as the proteins present in the breast milk are less likely to cause allergies.

	NRDC: Healthy Milk, Healthy Baby - The Chemicals, One by One
		Most of the studies on contaminants in breast milk have focused repeatedly on a small number of chemicals already known to be a problem.
		Other chemicals found in breast milk are not pesticides, although dioxins, PCBs, PBDEs and toxic metals share some of the properties of organochlorine pesticides -- accumulating in the environment and concentrating in human bodies and in milk.
		One of the things that scientists have learned about the persistent organic pollutant contaminants in breast milk -- chemicals such as dioxins, PCBs, PBDEs and the organochlorine pesticides -- is that the levels in breast milk tend to be higher in first-time mothers and also tend to be higher during the early months of breastfeeding.

		Milk from two study participants contained the highest levels of fire retardants ever reported in the United States, and milk from several of the mothers in EWG's study had among the highest levels of these chemicals yet detected worldwide.
		Breast milk data are very useful, however, because they are an excellent measure of fetal blood levels, and fetal exposure to fire retardants.
		Fire retardants in breast milk are one measure of the chemicals that a mother passes on not only to her nursing infant, but more importantly, to the unborn fetus, which is most vulnerable to impacts from neurotoxic chemicals.

		Her milk was pooled with that of two other mothers and was distributed to 12 to 20 other premature infants, according to the milk bank.
		But milk banks are on the rise, buoyed by medical research suggesting that human milk is far superior to both cow's milk and baby formulas.
		(Human milk for children and adults requires a physician's prescription.) Donors are screened for their health history and take blood tests for the HIV virus, syphilis and Hepatitis B and C. Breast milk is pumped and delivered to the closest milk bank, where it is cultured and pasteurized.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Breast milk
		Breast milk is the perfect source of nutrition for infants.
		If breast milk is allowed to sit for half-an-hour after being expressed, the "cream" separates and settles on top of the watery part.
		Frozen milk can be kept in a freezer compartment inside the refrigerator for 2 weeks; in a separate door refrigerator/freezer up to 3 or 4 months; and in a deep freezer at constant 0 degrees for 6 months.

	Non-Breast Milk In Infancy Increases Asthma Risk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Children who were fed milk other than breast milk before 4 months of age experienced higher rates of all indicators of asthma and allergy, the report indicates.
		Because the introduction of non-breast milk was more closely associated with asthma and atopy than the duration of breastfeeding, the investigators postulate that the exclusion of potentially allergy-causing components in milk other than breast milk may account for the protective effect.
		Breast milk is of course the best, but not always possible.

	Food for Thought - 6/27/98 - Breast milk doesn't pass cancer virus from Mom to baby
		hough several animal studies have suggested that breast cancer might in certain cases be triggered by a virus—perhaps one transmitted in breast milk—this does not appear to hold for people, a new study finds.
		For instance, breast cancer risk tends to be low in nations where breast-feeding rates are high, while the malignancy is common in the United States and other Western nations where breast-feeding rates have been low and are waning.
		Because a woman’s cumulative lifetime exposure to estrogen is one of the best established risk factors for breast cancer, there is a growing suspicion that exposure to estrogen mimics may also pose a cancer risk.

		At the heart of the undertaking is an emotional but contested presumption: that breast milk -- even that which doesn't come straight from the source, but is pooled with milk from other donors, sterilized and stored -- is uniformly better than formula.
		"The immunoglobulins in breast milk are the body's first defense against any kind of attack," she contends, adding that studies have shown that "breast milk is the best thing for treating babies with necrotizing enterocolitis," a digestive tract disorder that is a leading killer of premature infants.
		And while she allows that "mother's own milk, fresh, is always going to be better than any processed product," she says donor milk poses no "issues of biological incompatibility, like with blood typing," she says.

	Newsletter #71—Purifying Breast Milk: A Human Rights Issue
		In this case, the data consistently show that contaminant levels drop steadily as more milk is removed from the breast, but in real-life terms, this recommendation is impractical to the point of being sadistic.
		The nipple pain would be intense, the extra pumping would ratchet up her milk supply far beyond the baby’s needs, and the psychology of treating her own milk as toxic waste would be unbearable.
		One is that breast milk is most contaminated at the beginning of nursing and becomes less so as lactation continues, with the biggest decrease in the early weeks.

		Many say that the reason behind this is the formula milk ads that use slogans such as ‘even closer to breast milk‘, ‘the closest to breast milk‘ for luring women into giving up breastfeeding.
		However, the coalition alleges that the companies are exploiting loopholes in England’s policy and beguiling parents by advertising ‘follow-on‘ milk for infants with the same name and logo as the ‘follow-on‘ milks for older babies.
		Some do it because of the pain of feeding or so they can feed their child at more regular intervals, some so they can share responsibility for feeding the baby, others because they are thinking of going back to work.

		Breast milk is the recommended feeding method for the first six months of life although a fortified formula can adequately meet an infant's needs.
		Breast milk or formula should be offered three to four times per day at this age.
		While milk is not as nutrient-dense as breast milk or formula, the 1-year old child should be getting much of their nutrition from meats, fruits and vegetables, breads and grains, and the dairy group.

		The milk of American women has the highest levels in the world, although still mostly lower (we think and hope) than levels at which health effects might be seen in us or our children.
		The Swedes decided to look for the chemicals in stored human milk samples, and what they found rocked the scientific community: from the early 70's, when they first appeared commercially, to 1998, levels of PBDE's in breast milk were doubling every five years, a rate unmatched by any known chemical in the last 25 years.

	Whole Milk Is Number One Source Of Fat - Baby Bag® Online
		Simply by substituting skim milk, 1 percent milk and part-skim cheeses for higher fat-milk products, the researchers calculate that the diets of most preschoolers would become consistent with dietary guidelines that only about 30 percent of total calories should come from fat.
		After whole milk, sweet grain products such as cookies, cakes, pies and doughnuts, ranked next as a major source of total fat, followed by processed meats (franks, sausages, lunch meats and bacon) and grain mixtures (macaroni and cheese and pizza).
		Metabolizing cow's milk requires more water than breast milk or formula; for some small infants, drinking cow's milk would put them at potential risk for dehydration.

		While Prolacta isn't paying the donating mothers for their milk, the company is paying the network of hospitals and birthing centers up to $2 for every ounce of breast milk they procure exclusively for Prolacta.

		Since milk is produced on a supply-and-demand basis, your milk supply may slow down in the spurned breast.
		Another option is to express milk from one breast while your baby nurses on the side she favours.
