    I've been re-reading earlier comments... some nearly a year old! Liz's (I hope you don't mind matey!) seems to sum a lot of them up:

    QUOTE:

    First reaction: ICK.. no way!
    2nd thought: Think it's a good idea.. but wouldn't trust the screening (thinking about the complications associated with blood etc.. screening just isn't good enough)
    3rd thought: After reading about it being pasteurised etc etc.. I think I probably would consider it.. especially for a premmy.

    Yep definately. Rather give my bub milk from a human mum than a cow.
