Ricki Lake Shares a New Perspective on the Milk Sharing Debate

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- We all know breast milk is best, but what if that milk comes from a stranger's breast? Last month, a study showing that breast milk purchased online contained dangerous levels of bacteria created debate, panic and speculation. But many of the media reports on this story failed to differentiate between milk purchased through anonymous online interactions, and safe, screened donor milk obtained through an official milk bank – a choice many concerned mothers are making, including documentarian/actress/talk show host/natural birth advocate, Ricki Lake.

The Business of Being Born producer, an advocate for empowering mothers, shares her own experience of feeding her child donor milk in an exclusive video for Kids in the House. After breast reduction surgery left her unable to exclusively breastfeed her son, she turned to an out-of-state milk bank to help get him the nourishment he needed.

Watch Ms. Lake discuss her personal, informed decision to use donor milk, as well as discussing issues like single parent dating, empowered birth choices, and surviving disasters, at KidsintheHouse.com.
