    One problem possibly, PaleoPhil.. A raw milk farm, an organ donation or a blood donation are not like a milk bank http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_milk_banking_in_North_America , as milk banks both freeze twice and pasteurize at 132.8 ºF.
Ah, thanks for letting me know--I should have guessed that. Of course, formulas and most cow's milk is pasteurized too, so I suppose one must choose from among the various options, none of which are going to be as good as a raw Paleo mother's own breastmilk, of course.

The women donors are non smokers, but they can eat and drink almost anything I think.
Yeah, I mentioned that, though I seem to recall that you can make requests and they try to meet them, but there's no guarantee that the person's actually eating what they claim, of course. A better alternative would be to find a lactating relative or friend who will share their surplus milk.

Yes, it is good that it wouldn't be made of preservatives, plain vegetable oil and who knows what, I don't know.
Yes.

She should go to La Leche http://www.llli.org/faq/prempump.html (if she doesn't choose raw milk/ground meat) or if you find another equivalent group and hang out with breastfeeding mothers and learn and share there, if she's inclined. 

 Milk bank may be the best in this situation, but I don't see myself doing it.  Each time I heard my baby cry http://www.prweb.com/releases/2009/09/prweb2865544.htm, my milk "let down" (started flowing).  This will help her relactate.  I felt good hearing my baby cry knowing the resultant milk letdown was the best food out of billions, totally individual.

 She should pump milk looking at the baby or something like that.  Lactating helps certain mother child bonding and mood and health for mother too  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1036151/Breast-feeding-DOES-help-mothers-bond-babies--releases-love-hormone.html , not just baby.

I agree. Looking at your baby, seeing them hungry, searching for the breast, latching on, all that really helps the milk flow.
The bonding is just out of this world. And I feel it gets better the older he gets. I really feel breastfeeding and 'attachment parenting' has made my little guy develop to his full emotional potential, if that makes sense.

Re-lactating should work. She had milk before, it will come back with patience. Even mothers who adopt can lactate.
