I would've done the same thing! I'm annoyed that the article itself didn't touch on the wonderful organizations that do donated milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-scary-news-about-donated-breastmilk#post-2133991 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:12:34 +0000 reyorra 2133991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas @mrs.someone @adira: You guys are right, I used the wrong word in my title. Sorry... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-scary-news-about-donated-breastmilk#post-2133985 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:07:47 +0000 blackbird 2133985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ew, there are so many legal and screened ways to go about this! Reputable places only, people. Common freaking sense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-scary-news-about-donated-breastmilk#post-2133966 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:58:32 +0000 Adira 2133966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: I agree that the article is misleading - it doesn't even mention all the ways women can donate their milk and others can get donated milk. Completely different than the buying/selling situation!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-scary-news-about-donated-breastmilk#post-2133959 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:55:11 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2133959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, so scary. I've always thought that buying/selling milk is a shady thing. But donating is wonderful, just a mama helping out another mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-scary-news-about-donated-breastmilk#post-2133954 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:52:41 +0000 JessKas 2133954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like this post is misleading. There are many wonderful communities such as human milk 4 human babies, where mothers donate their milk. There is no financial gain. This article talks about instances where people are buying and selling breast milk, which is completely different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-scary-news-about-donated-breastmilk#post-2133941 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:39:32 +0000 youboots 2133941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Call me naive but are people shipping milk? It's seems like this would not be legal because of the lack of regulation.
