    As you may have read, the breast milk being sold is contaminated with bacteria and making babies sick. The bacteria is mostly due to bad hygiene. When I first found out people were buying untested, unpasteurized milk over the internet, I surprised that it was even allowed and surprised at how many women buy it for their infants. Lactating mothers can donate the milk to a milk bank, there it will get pasteurized to kill off any bacteria in it. That's the only way breast milk should be shared. I do not agree with strangers on the internet selling or buying milk with other strangers and no one checking the safety of the milk. 

    We already know that almost every product for food consumption, that is in some sort of "package", will eventually have something added, so the manufacturer can "stretch it" and therefore, make more money. They prove that, by being forced to list the ingredients. Why do we have such difficulty in sticking with fresh, whole, unpackaged, REAL food and beverages? In this case, who would put their baby at such risk?      :(

    If it is regulated properly it wouldn't be a bad thing, but it's not, and until that time I don't agree with it.

    I can think of situations that are more dangerous but I’d be hard pressed to name them now……….

    How could you trust it ? It may cause more harm than good.

    it's'disgusting  If mothers aren't willing to breast feed, they ought to leave child bearing to those that are.

    I have known several women who did not produce enough milk for their child and bought milk from mothers who could produce more than they needed.

    but you never know what kind of germs or disease is in another woman's breast milk.Maybe they were exposed to TB and didn't know it. That doesn't come up unless you have a positive reaction to a TB test.
    Some mothers can't breast feed, b/c they get cracked nipples , which is what happened to my mom with her 1st baby.It's painful !

    Risky at best. I think the formulas that you can buy would be a safer alternative.

    I would never recommend this there has been contaminated milk all over the Internet why would any mother want to buy this for your baby theses people are not right in THIER mind you don't where the heck it is coming from it could be made in a filthy kitchen then nicely packaged then on to some poor mother who don't know any better

    Mycatsmom IHi sweetheart hope you are keeping well I come on to have nosey lol xxxx

    I didn't know that was going on, but if I was a young mother of an infant, I wouldn't trust any breast milk on the internet with my precious baby. I guess you can buy anything over the internet.


    The next thing you know, people will be buying a head transplant over the internet.

    Oh, it is definitely happening and highly recommended in some cases. Lenin's head is up for auction in just a few week from now. Gigantic brain. Should go for millions.
