There seems to be a confusion with people thinking they are some free standing business that is selling milk. It is all hospital run and the milk goes to the babies at the hospital who can't get milk from their own mom. The bank also helps mothers who have NICU babies to be able to pump their own milk if possible. Anyway, perhaps it is different in the US, but that is why resources are limited. Hospitals here don't have a lot of money like in the USA, even the private ones are lacking in a lot of what we consider standard in the US." Jennifer Coias adds: “Getting 55 oz per day now.
