Jenny (Chronicles of a Nursing Mom) posted this link to an article about the great breastmilk bank program at Philippine General Hospital. The Lactation Unit and Human Milk Bank pasteurizes donated breastmilk, and volunteers feed the breastmilk to the dozens of preemie babies in the Philippines' largest government hospital.

There are three ways to help PGH's milk bank. Apart from donating breastmilk, you can also donate cash which will help with their operations, or you can donate your time by working as a feeding volunteer. If you're interested, you can contact the Lactation Unit and Human Milk Bank at the 4th Floor LCB Philippine General Hospital, telephone (2) 521-8450 local 3418/3409.

    hi, you are right about the lack of local research on the benefits of breastfeeding and breastmilk. i am an exclusive pumper and i have a hard time looking for research on the subject. my daughter is on exclusive bmilk and i would like to read bona fide researches since sources on the web are mostly conflicting. your site offers a good range of information. thank you.
