I want to sell my breast milk for profit?

Question

I am a 35 year old healthy woman who does not drink or smoke. My baby is almost 4 months. I want to sell my breast milk for profit. This will give me a little income to stay home with my little one a little longer before returning back to work. Any suggestions.

Answer 1

Actually I do not know of any organizations that would buy the milk. But there are plenty that would take it form you as a donation and re-sell it to people in need.
If you want to donate milk a specialist will come to your house take a test to determine that you don’t have any diseases such as AIDS, STD’s, Cancer, etc.. they will also give you a pump, packing materials and everything you need to send the milk. You can find more information right here http://www.hmbana.org/index.php?mode=loc...

But be aware that they don’t pay for your milk, but they do sell the milk you give them because they take the milk and pasteurize it and it costs allot to do that as well as shipping expenses. But these organizations are non profit.

You can also donate your milk directly to people in need. Usually these are parents of children hat don’t tolerate formula and the mother’s can’t produce the milk or parents of adoptive children. There is a link of where you can do that http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/mil...
You correspond with a family in your area or someone who close by, they will pay for the shipping and you send your milk directly to them.
Good luck. I think that you are doing is great. I wanted to do that as well but my milk is dropping and it looks like I’m going to need it for my baby.

Answer 2

I don't know about selling it, but you can donate it to a place called Mother's Milk Bank that then pasteurizes it. From what I understand the pasteurization process is fairly expensive and there are some "black market"-type setups for selling unpastuerized breast milk, but I don't have anywhere to refer you for that.

Answer 3

Well everyone is different , and your milk is produced for your baby. Your milk may not digest well in someoneelses baby.
