Woman tries to sell her breastmilk in a classified ad
Scarily enough, in the state of Iowa, it is not illegal to sell your breastmilk to the highest bidder.
Would you feel comfortable having your baby drink somebody elses bodily fluids? Before anybody brings up the wet nurse argument, consider how disease is spread — through bodily fluids!
It’s just not right…
Next, breastmilk will be sold on Ebay, which will open up a whole can of worms. (How do you really know that it’s even breastmilk???)
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - A woman who doesn’t want her breast milk to go to waste has taken out a newspaper ad in hopes of selling it. Martha Heller, 22, of Tiffin, took out the ad in The Gazette, offering 100 ounces of her breast milk for $200 or the best offer.
Heller said her freezer is overflowing with breast milk that she has pumped since August. Her 4-month-old daughter won’t drink from a bottle and the supply is piling up.
