[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God no. Why on earth. I'm not going to let my kid drink someone else's bodily fluid!!! Breast is best is a travesty I swear to God. Please read the actual scientific literature on the benefits of breastmilk. This is a mass effing delusion the men who work at the FDA cooked up. [/quote]

And btw I'm saying this as someone who breastfed my kids till a year. [/quote]

+1. I breastfeed exclusively but, yikes, no.  Breastmilk banks test for certain diseases and have protections. Buying random breastmilk from Facebook, nope. [/quote]

She’s not buying it, it’s donated. I looked at the group (“Human Milk for Human Babies”) and one of the rules is that it can’t be sold. I guess the thinking being that if it’s a donation, people are more likely to be honest about what they are donating.

Nevertheless, good to know that my initial reaction of “this doesn’t seem safe” (followed by, I admit, feeling like maybe I didn’t do “enough” for my own LO - thanks for the reality check on that) was correct.

Should I talk to my friend about this? She is a Nurse Practitioner, and I know she has to be aware of the risks. This is her first, and I know so many people told her “Fed is best.” when she was separated from her baby for a couple of days about a week after birth for her own medical condition.

Or do I say nothing? I guess it’s none of my business?[/quote]

She's a nurse. She has to know the risks.  I''d leave it alone.[/quote]
