Parents have been using each other's milk since the dawn of time. The 21st century imbues this age-old practice with legal and ethical tensions for the healthcare provider not imagined by our ancestors. Can an IBCLC be the "link" between the parent with too much milk in the freezer, and the low-supply parent whose baby doesn't qualify to receive milk from a milk bank? How does a healthcare provider (HCP) counsel a family shaken by the birth of an extremely premature baby, and who want to collect expressed milk from friends and neighbors? Can HCPs be sued if they counsel a family about milk donation, and the parent unwittingly passes on a pathogen in that milk that harms the other baby? The Internet offers a worldwide market for human milk sharing. Is that even legal? This session looks at all the risk and liability angles at play here: for the baby, the family, and the healthcare provider.

We know #ImmigrantsAreEssential in California, but right now, our state’s laws exclude many immigrants from accessing critical programs like CalFresh and California Food Assistance Program. It’s time to change these discriminatory laws. SB 464 #Food4All is heading to the Senate Appropriations Committee and will make sure no one is left out from getting access to food they need for themselves and their families.

WIC resides at the crucial nexus of public health and social justice. Our families are of every ethnicity, race, culture, faith, and creed known to humankind. This calls us to leave our biases at the door, better still to work to unpack them, and dispose of them.
