Have I got the date wrong?

Guardian article

I really don't know what to think, better than formula? Probably. Would I give it to my child if I couldn't bf myself? Probably not.

I'd rather make it myself.

Bleugh is my first reaction. But it might be of great benefit?

The link was v slow for me, too, at first. It seems to have speeded up now .

It seems like an awful lot of effort to replicate imperfectly something that humans can produce naturally. Couldn't they have spent the money on setting up donor services or something? Or maybe it really is a positive development?

Original report from Daily Telegraph here

It's front page on the Telegraph website, if the link is slow again.

Interesting, but I'm not sure I'd let my kids be the crash test dummies. Formula is more tried and tested if bf wasn't an option.
