    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Liquid Gold: Breast Milk Banking in the United States A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Marisa Gerstein Pineau 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Liquid Gold: Breast Milk Banking in America by Marisa Gerstein Pineau Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Rebecca Emigh, Chair Over the course of the 20th Century, breast milk banks have facilitated the exchange of breast milk from mothers with an excess supply to infants in need. But while early banks used a seller model, purchasing milk as a commodity from lower class women, today banks use a donor model, relying on middle class women who give their milk away as a gift. This dissertation explores why the commodified model of breast milk banking first arose, and why banked breast milk was giftified (but still commodified) by the end of the century. I use content analysis of institutional records from three banks operating in three different eras, and interviews with current milk bank managers, donors, and parents of recipients to address these questions. My analysis indicates that in each era a confluence of factors, in particular women’s employment, conceptions of motherhood, medical practices and beliefs, and technologies shapes the exchange of banked breast milk. In the early 20th century new technologies made the physical disembodiment of breast milk possible, while mothering practices and medical authorities’ preferences promoted breast milk’s symbolic disembodiment, promoting the milk’s ii commodification, while limited employment opportunities created a pool of willing sellers.

Child abuse and neglect may be a cyclical or generational phenomenon. Child abuse and neglect is a symptom of family dysfunction or crisis. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY As a member of the community, you may be the first person to come into contact with a family where abuse or neglect is occurring. You are encouraged to act on behalf of a child in need of protection, and to report any suspicion of abuse or neglect to a Children Services Agency or law enforcement agency. We all have a responsibility to report a child we suspect may be in danger. In order to begin the intervention necessary to protect the child and help the family, the community must be knowledgeable in recognizing indicators of child abuse and neglect and the proper methods to make a referral. This booklet has been developed to address the most frequent child abuse and neglect issues. We, at the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, ask for your help in protecting Ohio’s children. We urge you to contact others in your community to promote education on the topic of child abuse and neglect.
