Got Milk? Why Not Bank It? (1/2)

Money, jewels and important documents may not be the only valuables placed in banks these days. Some mothers are making deposits, or really, donations, to breast milk banks. There are ten breast milk banks across the United States. However, there are many more stations set up where mothers can donate their extra milk for other women's babies.
