Would you buy or sell your breastmilk here? http://www.onlythebreast.com/ - It's like Craigslist, but solely for breastmilk!
From what I can see, it's all based on trust - I don't think there's a screening process in place for the breastmilk sold here... but people are selling their milk for $1.50-$2 an ounce!

No, I just wouldn't feel comfortable with it! I definitely would not buy. I don't think the return is enough to sell either.

No - I would definitely not buy it. I might use donated breast milk but only if it was from someone that I knew and trusted.
If we can't breast feed (likely possibility since I had a breast reduction 3 years ago) we have already decided we will switch right to formula, or supplement with formula, rather than spend months of stress trying to make something happen that my body just can't do.

I would definitely never buy it. Maybe I would sell it if we were in a really tough spot financially.

@anbanan15: Ditto.
I thought it was illegal also? And no, I wouldn't do it.

I wouldn't sell, though I have donated my milk. I would also accept donated milk if I needed it and I was comfortable with the donor. There was just a big piece done by our local CBC Radio/Television news on the growing movement of the Human Milk for Human Babies groups all over Ontario.

eee.... there are breast milk banks that are donations and there is a screening process! I would do that.
And I would buy it from a trusted friend .
Otherwise no... you have no idea if they're taking meds, drinking alcohol etc!!!
