Wow, would make you buy breast milk from a stranger?

I was browsing Craigslist and found this advertisement for breast milk.  The price is $1 an ounce.

 

I wonder who would feed their baby milk from an unknown person.  Kinda scary, if you ask me.

@Carmie very scary, but I bet there are takers.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

Nothing surprises me anymore.  (I'm shaking my head).  But I've heard of this before.

 

My oldest daughter was a fanatic when she was pregnant and breast feeding.  She wouldn't consume any kind of caffeine or anything that could be bad for a baby.

 

The middle daughter breast fed for 3 months, same thing, then she started bottle (I had to start watching the baby).

 

I can't imagine any scenario where a mother would think this was a good idea.

That ad should be flagged for removal.  doubt that its legal to sell bodily fluids.

the people buying the milk is probably not actually for a baby.  lots of strange people out there who like strange things.  there is actually some men who like to dress and be a "baby"

It's totally legal to sell it.

I knew you could donate it, but I didn't know you could sell it.  I know a couple people who had freezers full and donated it.
