Mum sells breastmilk on Gumtree

[Hermya321]

Here, I just thought it was interesting. There are stranger ways of making money I'm sure.

Shame she didn't choose to donate at least some of it to a SCBU.

Good for her!

Even someone elses breastmilk is better for babies than formula. My dd had several different womans breast milk.

Yeah I thought that as well tbh, maybe she doesn't realise (shameless naive emoticon).

She's got initiative, I'll grant you that.

if you were buying wouldn't you want to know it was not contaminated? HIV, hepititus etc? Or am I being very ignorant on this?

Indeed, BigGitDad...

There is so much wrong with that article, though, I barely know where to start. It seems as though the author has just done the interview and written it up based on her own assumptions. The top line is very annoying, as it implies successful breastfeeding is rare...

my maternity unit wouldn't take donated milk so I threw pints of the stuff away [sob]

would never have sold it though.... that is gross
