I'm very excited to announce that I'm now doing podcasts for Motherlove Herbal Company (maker of More Milk Plus and other great herbal breastfeeding products)!
The first one is now up on the Motherlove Blog. It's an interview with Pauline Sakamoto, President of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America.
The interview answers many questions, including: Can you donate if you have a tattoo or a body piercing? What happened to milk banks when HIV was identified? Who pays for donor milk (which costs $3 to $4 an ounce) if a family can’t pay?
Pauline and I also talk about the history of donor milk banking, how donor milk saves lives, how to become a donor, how donor milk is processed, how donor milk is paid for, and Pauline’s view of mother-to-mother milk sharing.
For now you can listen through the blog post, and soon I'll be able to share the iTunes feed address so you can subscribe if you'd like. The next one will be on breast surgeries, with Diana West!
