Woman takes out ad to sell breast milk
100 oz. for sale because baby refuses bottles, mom doesn’t like to waste

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - A woman who doesn't want her breast milk to go to waste has taken out a newspaper ad in hopes of selling it. Martha Heller, 22, of Tiffin, took out the ad in The Gazette, offering 100 ounces of her breast milk for $200 or the best offer.

Heller said her freezer is overflowing with breast milk that she has pumped since August. Her 4-month-old daughter won't drink from a bottle and the supply is piling up.

Heller now donates to the University of Iowa's Mother's Milk Bank, but the 100 ounces of milk she wants to sell was pumped before going through the screening process for the bank and cannot be donated.


Linda Klein, a lactation consultant at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids, said breast milk can generally be stored in a freezer for up to six months.

Heller said she researched laws regarding the sale of breast milk and couldn't find any in Iowa.

Don McCormick, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Public Health, said he was not aware of any laws in Iowa restricting the sale of breast milk, but that state health officials advised against it.

Heller said she hasn't received any legitimate calls about her ad.

"There was one prank caller," she said.

I only get my breast milk straight from the cow.

[saldana]

does the fact that you are inquiring about what to make of this mean you are wondering if you should buy it?

is there something you will be announcing next weekend?

I'm surprised suckling as a fetish has never really caught on.

Do people just not like the taste of breast milk and that is why it is looked down upon? I haven't tasted the human stuff for over 8 years, so I can't remember. I know I don't drink cow milk, or goat milk. Nor do I milk a dog, cat, or hippo. What makes cow milk so acceptable to most of us I wonder, and not other animals? Did Noah milk all the animals on the Ark and decide that cow's milk is the best tasting so that's our number one, goto animal for milk? Doesn't anyone ever wonder what giraffe milk taste like? It could be really good, you never know.

I drink soy milk. Hemp milk and rice milk are acceptable. Mostly I drink water though.

Dola-

I think the real issue with this woman is she can't let go of the 100oz. of milk because she hates to waste stuff. I think this woman has so much crap in her house from being a packrat that she can't even find her baby to give it a bottle.
