If breastmilk pumped from someone besides yourself was just as available as formula and the same price would ?

Question

you choose that over formula? obviously it would be tested to make sure it is 'clean'

Answer 1

No way

Answer 2

There was just an article about this in my parenting magazine and it is a hot topic. They compared it to giving your baby a blood transfusion without knowing what is in that blood. It can be tested but that is costly and i do not think that it can pick up things like some drugs. Really it is up to you and your own beliefs i believe if you are willing to risk it and you trust the person who is giving you the breast milk with your childs life than you should do it. Personally i would not trust anyone besides myself to give my baby breast milk because i know where i have been. I have known people who smoke and breast feed and other things like that behind closed doors and still breast feed because it is "best" but it is only the best if the mom is trying her best to be health. :) If you really want breast milk for your baby and want to do it in a clean safe way you can buy breast milk from milk banks that do strenuouse back ground checks on the moms and it cost up to $5 an oz. Most doctors do not recommend you sharing breast milk on your own.

Answer 3

Can you imagine a load of mums coming in to be pumped ever day in cattle type stalls.

Who would be willing to go through all that for someone elses baby?
