Is there any reason why someone should not request donor milk?

Reasons may include but are not restricted to:

  • If they do not want to or if they are feeling coerced
  • If doing so places them at risk of punishment due to religious or social conventions
  • If at any point in the process they feel they cannot participate in making informed choices1
  • If they are unable or unwilling to accept responsibility for their Eats on Feets™ experience
  • If the baby that the milk will be fed to has galactosemia or any other contraindicated disorder
  • If they are an adult requesting for non-verified medical reasons
