If you had no breastmilk, would you use a breastmilk bank?

ikwym Colleen, I just wanted to give everyone the green light to be open

I think its early days, interesting times and I think that once the breastmilk bank is more established and we hear positive things about it and successful stories, it will be a little more comforting. It's all new and a new concept to alot of people who just don't understand how it works or haven't seen it in action. But of course there will still be those who will chose FF and that is fine - I think more will say no now than will later when it's been running well and some stats/figures/facts come out.

Totally agree. Everything new is daunting and "scary" but eventually it just becomes the norm. I think it's exciting to see new advances and inventions and whilst some of them are not for me I still think how clever that that person thought of doing that IYKWIM?

ETA: In reponse to beckles: If they were sick and couldn't have any of my blood or my family's blood, then of course. But I said yes to the BM bank, but you're probably after the people that said "no" opinions so mine won't count, but I'm yes to both.
