Mothers' Milk Bank

I replaced the poll with a link for an idea at ideablob.com You can post your business idea and whomever gets the most votes gets $10,000 for their business. The one I supported is the Mothers' Milk Bank of New England. For those who don't know, nursing mothers that pass the medical requirements can donate their expressed breastmilk to a Human Milk Bank. They pasteurize and freeze it for up to one year. Mothers of many critically ill and premature babies can't supply the breast milk their babies need, and due to lack of adequate supplies of breast milk, these babies must be fed formula substitutes. For premature and critically ill babies, breast milk can help make the difference for the baby's health, their best nutrition, and even their survival. Those that need breast milk the most are not getting it.

It's a good thing. We currently only have 10 up & running in the U.S.A. So the more the better! Go vote today! The voting ends January 31 - only 3 more days!!!
