    Sorry.  I accidentally clicked here, but I just couldn't avoid this.  I don't know if there are (m)any places to sell.  I also don't know if you are just super hard up for cash, but why don't you just donate it?  I have donated a little over 200 ounces and plan on donating more.  Believe me, it is much appreciated by those who need it!

    It's not easy at ALL to sell breast milk. You would most likely need to set up a private situation. It is considered a bodily fluid (duh) and therefore technically illegal to sell except under very specific guidelines and under strict hygiene standards.

    I've read about people selling it, but I think it's private 1:1 situations. Donation does seem to be a great route if you were willing and there is certainly need out there.

    I'm almost 100% sure I've read news stories lately about it being illegal to sell your breast milk (as pp said) because it's a bodily fluid and can contain and spread diseases, bacteria, and other biohazards.

    You can donate it safely. They screen the milk and store it properly and it's a much safer option. I can't imagine there are many women who would even buy it now that donated milk is so readily available and affordable or even free to those who show need.

    A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches. Whatever you wish for you keep. Hold on to your dreams and someday your rainbow will come shining through. No matter how your heart is bleeding if you keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true. - Cinderella

    Are you looking to sell or buy?  I would never sell my milk -- if I had extra (which I never did) I would just donate.

    ETA: I just re-read your post and realize you are looking to sell.  You should really consider donating to a non-profit.
