Selling breast milk on Craigslist..
So seriouly this is NO JOKE. I was checking out my local area craigslist for baby items for sale and found an ad of a 16yr old girl selling her breastmilk for $2.00 an ounce. She had this story that she was a mother of two and was still in high school, and that she was making more than her 5mth old and 17mth old could eat and she needed to make some extra money. I tried to find the ad so I could post it but couldn't. So I surfed the net to see if anyone else does this and found the ad below. Is the crazy to anyone else. IMO I would never feed my baby someone else's breast milk. Especially someone I never even met or got tested. I just think that this is insane.

I am a 29yo mother of a two month old, have been using hospital grade pump and producing much more than my baby needs. I am a healthy non-smoker or drinker. I take prenatal vitamins and fish oil (DHA). My milk has excellent fat content as visable by settling with thick fat layer on top. Will sell for $1.50/oz. Am willing to allow local pick up or overnight mail straight from my freezer. Shipping costs paid by buyer. I am willing to provide documentation as to my health from my midwife, or undergo medical testing at buyers expense if necessary. I have already paid my dues with perverted emails...please spare me and only inquire if you are a serious non-perverted buyer! Send email to Pocodeseo@yahoo.com with the subject line Breast Milk.

Re: Selling breast milk on Craigslist..
No way my baby would get craiglist BM!
LOL..Im gonna go post this add for myself JUST to see what kind of results i get!!
Thats just wrong!
I would think that would be against CL rules or something - the selling of personal bodily fluids??
FYI there are breast milk banks though where you can DONATE BM for preemies and others in the NICU.
ETA - here's a linky for national donation https://www.milkinmamas.com/FAQs/
Um, yeah I don't think that's true since women have been using wet nurses waaaaaaaay before pasturization was invented.
Um, TONS of moms of preemies, and other moms who, for whatever reason, can't produce milk for their own babies. WTF is up with all this ignorance on breastmilk donation?
Your mom is wrong. Gallons of breastmilk are donated and banked and used to feed babies every day - and nobody pasteurizes it. FFS.
"When it comes to sleeping, whatever your baby does is normal. If one thing has damaged parents enjoyment of their babies, it's rigid expectations about how and when the baby should sleep." ~ James McKenna, Ph.D., Mother Baby Behavioral Sleep Center, University of Notre Dame
Not to mention moms who adopt infants who want their babies to have breastmilk since it's what's best for them.
So actually, yes. A friend of mine said she saw an ad on Craigslist for guys wanting to buy BM. Guys who like to pretend they are babies. They were paying more like $20/ounce, though, so she was tempted!
Hehe, and is it delivered?! Ewww, this is so wrong, I have to call and tell my mom about this.
