    On another side note about father/baby bonding. Feeding doesn't have to be the only way a father can bond with his child. If it was so important that this be the way a parent bonds with their child, Men would have developed the abilty to lactate. Parenting is a HUGE role & feeding is just a tiny part of it.
    LOVE is the major role.

    ETA: Sorry, I have a bit mroe to add. A few mentioned the cost involved with providing donated BM to a premmie baby. from the Milk Bank website

    Are mothers paid for their donation?

    No. We recognise that donating breast milk is an extremely generous gift and in turn ensure that it is safely supplied free of charge to hospitalised babies in need.
