Some women end up with a bountiful stash of frozen breast milk — be it from oversupply, a baby in the NICU, or an infant who turns out to be allergic to something in the milk pumped so far. Some of those women are moved to donate the excess milk to a non-profit milk bank. […]
When I got an email informing me that there was a ceremony this evening to name the Mothers’ Milk Bank of New England as the official winner of the Ideablob $10,000 giveaway, I almost didn’t believe it! I ran right over to the Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog and sure enough, there was the announcement, explaining that […]

All it takes is a few moments of your time to vote for the funding proposal for the Mothers’ Milk Bank of New England on IdeaBlob. If enough people vote (and it only took 600 votes for last month’s winner), the fledgling milk bank receives $10,000 that will be used to buy processing and storage […]

The International Breast Milk Project (IBMP) sounded so noble and noteworthy. Mother Jill Youse had extra breast milk stashed in the freezer and decided to pair with Prolacta Bioscience to ship donated breast milk to an orphanage in South Africa where the milk would be given to babies orphaned by AIDS.
Since the initial splash […]
When I wrote about On-Line Auctions of Human Breast Milk, my inquiry to eBay resulted in the removal of one listing of breast milk for sale. eBay clarified that the sale of breast milk is not permitted but it never added breast milk to the prohibited “Human Parts and Remains” (which included blood and semen). […]
Jennifer at The Lactivist must be happier than a pig in mud today after she received an apology from the National Pork Board (remember this controversy?) Her viral marketing campaign spread faster than swine flu. You’ve never seen so many bloggers hamming it up and porking out on pig jokes. Jennifer lists some of the […]
In the most controversial poll yet, I asked “Should On-Line Sales of Breast Milk Be Permitted?”
The results turned out to be quite divided when I aggregated all of the “yes” and “no” votes:
The complete results are as follows:
Sure, I’d buy the milk if I needed it: 2% of votes
Yes, it’s a matter of buyer-beware: 15%
Yes, […]
[Note: post edited to censor the picture. I’ve been asked to take down the picture of the shirt due to a ridiculous claim by the National Pork Board that the humorous lactivist slogan “The Other White Milk” infringes on the Pork Board’s trademark “The Other White Meat.” Now I can understand if someone where trying […]
