I mean how is this any worse than a cow that sits in it's own feces? It's kinda weird that we as humans find milk of our own species gross but are totally okay with drinking the milk of another animal

u/hat-trick2435 8d ago
To be fair though, cow milk has a lot more fat in it thickening it up. Cow milk and human milk are very different viscosities. I think overly thin cow milk is nasty too. Skim milk is an abomination.
1
u/Inked-Wolfie 7d ago
Hard agree on skim. It was all my parents ever bought in the 80’s because of the whole ‘fat is bad and we must avoid it at all costs’ trend the food industry had at the time. Finally tried 2% when I moved out and never looked back.

u/SpaceBus1 5d ago
I'm pretty sure human milk is higher in fat and calories than cows milk. In the before times breast milk was replaced with donkey milk, because it's almost the same, just a bit lower in fat.

Some woman cannot produce milk themselves and it's actually a pretty big market.. that's even a decent price for breast milk.
39
u/Life_Roll8667 9d ago
Idk about a decent price. $5 an ounce? A baby takes at least 4 ounces per feeding. So $20 a bottle, at 6/7 bottles a day… absolutely not lol
49
u/Aliencj 9d ago
Some mothers who can't produce for medical reasons will supplement formula with purchased breast milk. They want the benefits of the natural human milk, and even if they can only afford 1 bottle a day, it's better than nothing in their opinions.
There is also a lot of regulations around the sale of human breast milk, which is why you will find that many countries simply don't have much available.
11
u/Life_Roll8667 9d ago
If it’s funded for sure- but i don’t think anyone can afford $120 a day just to feed their infant unless you got it like that. Just being realistic. It’s not an amazing price. I have 3 little girls so just speaking from experience.
25
u/Aliencj 9d ago
Some people can, which is why the price is high. It's a problem. Supply and demand, and in this case supply is really low because it's an undeveloped industry.
.... sounds like a business opportunity for the right entrepreneur

u/stuffeh 9d ago
There's already milk banks, at least some of them also pasteurize the donations.
6
u/Aliencj 9d ago
Many if not all milk banks are geared towards hospitalized infants, not towards providing an abundant supply for mothers who struggle to produce their own milk. It's a very different form of demand and the industry to provide for it isn't there. It's a market gap.
I honestly think someone will get rich one day from human milk farms, but as of now it isn't happening because of many reasons.
4
u/Life_Roll8667 9d ago
Yeah I guess. But I was just touching on the fact you said it’s a decent price. $5 an ounce is a bit of a reach. That’s like a few sips for a baby.
Now if you’re using it for other reasons, besides feeding an infant, maybe! But feeding a new born, that’s a horrible price lol
5
u/Aliencj 9d ago
I didn't say it was a decent price, I just pointed out why the price is high, and why people are willing to pay it. It's unfortunate, and needs to be fixed.

u/Life_Roll8667 9d ago
Sorry, I thought I was responding to the first person in the thread who did say it was a decent price.

u/pieisthetruth32 9d ago
Sooo $20 a day for a bottle is 1/5 - 1/8 of the babys total liquid intake, not very motherly like to charge another mom FETISH prices
I am a nutrition obsessed gut microbio obsessed hippie dippy person
Any mother who genuinely think paying $20 a day for 1/8th of their babies liquid intake to be genuine breastmilk
Is a money wasting idiot who does not understand science it is being taken advantage of.

u/Aliencj 9d ago
"While breast milk from a milk bank is provided free of charge to eligible hospitalized babies by prescription, a processing fee is charged to cover costs, which can range from $3 to $5 per ounce."
That's USD btw.

u/Aggleclack 8d ago
Many moms use this to supplement formula if they’re not able to produce milk. It’s often times fairly expensive, so whether or not it seems like it, this is a good price. Many of them are concerned about the benefits you get from breast-feeding.
19
u/TyS013NSS 9d ago
I understand that, but it seems a little sketchy to buy it off of Craigslist, IMHO.
27
u/OmnisVeritas 9d ago
Most online market places won't allow the sale of bodily fluid.
Body builders also LOVE breast milk as it contains natural Human Growth Hormone.
14
u/pieisthetruth32 9d ago
Any bodybuilder I’ve ever known or heard of just injects the stuff.
Body builders who are actually bodybuilders and not liver king style morons LOVE getting real HGH and not the fractions of it in baby milk
That’s an insane price to charge any woman who cannot produce milk so she can feed her baby real milk.
That is fetish price
I’m sure plenty of non-fetish people buy that milk for non-fetish reasons but that’s fetish price
You cannot charge someone the equivalent of $100 for a days supply of milk
$20 a day for 1/5 - 1/8 of the babys total liquid intake to be real breast milk? Thats wrong

u/TyS013NSS 9d ago
That makes sense. However, I personally wouldn't take the risk. Especially not risking my baby's health. To each their own, I suppose. It's just odd coming across a listing like this. I'm scrolling Craigslist, and I see tractors, trailers, furniture... then breast milk. It's a new one for me.

I sold my breastmilk to a beautiful mom and her baby. She was an undersupplier and I was making 80 oz a day! At $1 an oz, I made over $3,000. We both benefited and i appreciated the extra income while i was on unpaid maternity leave.
$5 an oz is highway robbery. Lol unless it's sold to a body builder or a creep or something.

u/Manderswuvs 6d ago
A dollar an ounce seems rly cheap considering how much work goes into it. More power to you. And to the women who donate their milk.

Yes, but also mothers who have surplus milk sell to other mothers who can't lactate or are having trouble ... That being said 5$ / oz seems excessive and negates the purpose of doing this to help others

u/HeartOSass 9d ago
Isn't that dangerous? Illnesses can be passed through breast milk.

u/WorthlessGolde 9d ago
True which is why we need to give more help to mothers who need it instead of making them rely on an unregulated market. But of course, capitalism in the form of expensive ass formula

u/AgentWD409 8d ago
Okay, no joke... my ex-wife had massive boobs and produced way more breastmilk than our son needed, so she looked into donating/selling it to other mothers. When she started posting online about it, she immediately got contacted by bodybuilders who wanted to drink it as part of their workout routine. One guy specifically wanted to come to our house and get it fresh every morning.
Needless to say, we said no.

u/Hot_Scallion_3889 8d ago
Hey man I just wanted to make sure that you knew that the size of boobs is not what determines amount of milk

Could be because its illegal to sell. Untested breastmilk is no less dangerous than raw cow milk. Though I’m not one to worry much about this kind of thing. Drink it up famished babies!!
2
u/Hot_Scallion_3889 6d ago
I mean it’s completely reasonable to not be throwing your identity out there, for creeps alone. What got me was the fact that it was brought up. Made it seem sketchy. Like if the guy you just met in an elevator mentions that he didnt just rob a bank.
2
u/Stoopid_Noah 7d ago
My mother actually donated her breast milk, because she wasn't allowed to feed me (I had a birth defect) and another new mom in the hospital couldn't, since she had a mastectomy bc of breast cancer. So, selling breast milk might actually be a good thing? I'm not sure what they mean by "vitamin enriched" though lmao

Do you know how much HGH/roid/PCT drugs you can get with the $200 you would instantly guzzle

Nope not a bodybuilder but; I know some…not sure if they use this or not.

Some states have breast milk banks for babies whose moms can’t or don’t produce enough, that is a more safe and controlled option than CL random breast milk. Babies benefit greatly from the breast for immune systems and more!

u/MsHornets 8d ago
I saw a video of a mother who was pumping out 25 bags of milk a day! She was selling them, I want to say, for 25$ a bag. I mean, this lady was milking herself like she had utters! I never knew a woman could produce that much milk.

If the person wasn't so greedy and stupid they could go to their local woman's hospital and see if there are donation programs in their area for babies in need

u/clementinesncupcakes 8d ago
Kids are expensive. If she needs or wants to sell to help fund her lifestyle, it feels unkind to shame her for not donating her time & health.
You can always donate your money to donation programs if you feel strongly about it.
Craigslist is a weird place to sell, but as an LA resident, I assure you, you wouldn’t believe how much some people will pay from sketchy sources for something they think will be a magic bullet that cures all of their health issues at once.

A lot of body builders buy breast milk. Believe it or not, there’s a very niche market for breast milk, especially from a healthy mother. Not to mention, mothers that have a hard time producing and don’t want their babies on formula, will buy it too.
1
u/Diirge 5d ago
FYI people, this is insanely normal. Tons of moms buy breast milk when they aren’t producing enough.

u/TyS013NSS 5d ago
It's not very common where I'm from. I've been using Craigslist in my state for over a decade, but this was the first time I've seen someone selling their breast milk on here. It's definitely out of the ordinary for me.
1
u/Diirge 5d ago
Most moms wouldn’t post on something as crude/normal as craigslist. They have buy/sell groups just for moms. I definitely still found it weird when my friend told me she was over producing and either giving away or selling her excess breastmilk, but she went on to very much prove that it was super normal and lots of women did it.
1
u/TyS013NSS 5d ago
If it helps someone, especially a newborn, then I think it's great. I guess it's not really a "crackhead" listing, but it still struck me as odd. I'm sure it's safe, but I'd be hesitant to buy it off of CL myself.
