We don’t know exactly how many women are selling and buying breast milk online, but this phenomenon has become more popular over the past several years. My research team from the Center for Biobehavioral Health at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, in collaboration with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and The Ohio State University, bought samples of this milk from ads women had posted on milk-exchange websites. It is more common than you may realize for women not to be able to produce enough breast milk for their baby, so I can empathize with a mom’s desire to try to provide the benefits of breast milk to their baby, but based on our research, don’t buy from strangers online to provide breast milk....

What is “heart failure”? Heart failure is a clinical diagnosis in which the heart isn’t pushing enough blood forward, due to impaired filling or impaired emptying, to meet the demands of all of the organs. This results in poor organ function, with blood also backing up in other organs, such as the lungs or the liver. Why would someone have heart failure? In pediatrics, heart failure is often found in patients with underlying structural problems in their heart (congenital heart disease) or of the muscle of the heart itself (cardiomyopathy) which cause the heart muscle to not squeeze or relax normally....
