IME, a milk protein allergy isn’t enough to qualify to get breast milk from a milk bank. I had to try once to get donated milk for a tube-fed child with milk and soy allergies, and she didn’t qualify either. There are babies with complex medical issues who will die if they don’t get breast milk, and these banks are usually for kids like them. Milk allergies are pretty common in babies, so there’s no way breast milk banks can provide for all milk-allergic babies when there are substitutes out there.
