hunker - you are needed on another b/feeding thread.

bummer - ds is 9mo now. oh well, maybe next time. i don't think my hospital accepts it anyway, from what my mw was saying (although she occasionally talked a load of shite!)

ps: SaintJude, are you SaintGeorge in a different outfit?

Woah, I suppose it's her milk, she can do what she wants, but I wouldnt feel happy doing it myself. I wanted to donate milk with DS but the hospital I was at wouldnt take it, thankfully I have moved to oxford now and the John Radcliffe do. So I shall definitely be donating this time around, I find it quite sad that someone either a)needs the money that badly that they are selling breast milk or b)is that money oreintated that they dont think donating it would be a better option.

Where, Judy?

UrbanDevil, if you mean northampton, no they dont My ex MIL did it when her kids were small and suggested it to me when I fed DS, but I called and they didnt have anything like it.

Lorayn -- i didn't think so northants is really crappy for bf-ing. just as well we have a fabulous Baby Cafe!!

I wanted to donate but couldn't 'cos of thyroid medication I'm taking 'tis a brilliant idea tho'.

Same here ds1 refused b/m from a bottle. Would only take it from the source

20 litres??! that's, like, 10 bottles of coke!!

as FIL said - "He won't take a bottle, he prefers draft!"

Noooo I am not StGeorge

But I have met StGeorge

I started donating after DS was 12 months and they were still interested. They used my blood test results from pregnancy.

that's disgusting. why can't she donate like normal people.

i dont like the idea of someone selling their milk in this way... its fantastic to do through hospital, as the doners are screened and the milk is pasterized so no probs with passing on anything nasty...

But who on earth would buy breastmilk from a stranger on the internet?

After watching that programme tonight that testing for toxins in breastmilk, I'd be worried

Also think it should be donated, not sold on gumtree

I'm trying to get them to cover this on BBC London 94.9 tomorrow.

I've mentioned MN so fingers crossed.

They didn't mention cows are exposed to environmental toxins too, as well as antibiotics.

Kaloo, I saw that and thought of MN when I did. No mention of formula, as SM said, containing nasties as well

Sorry, as MG said.

SM that sounds interesting.

Vanessa talked about this all morning but I missed it. Did anyone hear it?
MN was mentioned in the bulletins too.

Sorry, Ive just skimmed thru this thread (am at work). What about the HIV risk?
