Hi,
Don't know exactly what the focus of that article is--I'm pretty sure that about
10 years ago there used to be breastmilk banks in Canada but that they stopped
in response to fears of spreading HIV that way. As a public health nurse in a
smaller urban area, I didn't have any direct contact and could be confusing what
I read in literature from the US but I think they were in Canada as well.

 Subject: Breastmilk bank








After reading the article of Singhal A et al, I'm wondering if we can find here
in Canada a Breastmilk bank.

If someone have more information about Breastmilk bank, would you please contact
me.

infants and later blood pressure: two cohorts after randomised trials. THE
