    Before i would have said no, but now I'd probably say yes. I'd probably trust another mother offering milk over formula, if that's my other option.

    Hi,

    Just wanted to point out, Hep C isn't transmitted via breastmilk. And HIV amongst Australian Born women is extremely uncommon (about 1 woman infected every 2 years)

    Yes, I would use unscreened milk if it was donated. I wouldn't buy it.
