Subject: Can I sell my breast milk? Overproducing!!!
I would not sell my milk with the intention that it be used by a baby, because while there’s nothing dangerous about mine there are no safeguards in place and I don’t want to participate in that system. If I were hard up for cash, I would sell it to a weird bodybuilder though.

Technically I guess but a lot of grey area
You can donate to a milk bank and they will process it for use. You can sometimes find for profit banks that will pay you. Or you can try FB group like human milk for human babies- find your local group and donate to someone who can't produce. Typically the recipient can pay for breast milk storage bags and gifts but it's icky to pay for milk.

My wife couldn't breastfeed, so we instead paid for Similac. I would have happily bought it off of you under the table, if I would have seen this post 8 years ago lol

I've heard of women selling breastmilk here...$1/ounce. I was an oversupplier too. I donated to Human milk for human babies.

Unfortunately the official hospital or organization milk donation centers were too cumbersome
It's not unfortunate. It's done for the safety of babies. It's crazy to give your child another person's bodily fluids without knowing full medical history, proper disease screenings and a doctor's ok. Not any breast milk is magic. Ignorance endangers children...

The only way to do official donation within DC is through The Breastfeeding Center's partnership with the Austin Milk Bank. You drop off your milk at the center and it gets shipped to Austin, processed, and sent to various states (not just TX)

You need a doctor's prescription to get officially donated milk. And it's not "free," it's charged through insurance. Some people can't breastfeed but they don't qualify as a medical necessity, so they ask for informally donated milk or buy it right from a mom. Or some people adopt, ie wealthy gay couples, and want to buy milk. Sometimes a breastfeeding mom gets sick and needs to be on meds that isn't safe to breastfeeding.
If you really are interested in selling, look up Prolacta bioscience. Passing the blood tests and shipping on dry ice is a lot of work but they pay $1/oz so up to $70/day is serious to consider. There's also only the breast dot com but that's more like the craigs list route. Otherwise do formal donation through the Austin Milk Bank (dropoff in downtown DC) or Human Milk 4 Human Babies.
+1 I struggled to produce milk, but my kid was thriving anyway so I never asked for milk donations. but i probably would have bought it if I saw that another mom I knew had too much.

If you don’t want to jump through all sorts of hoops to donate, join the DC chapter of the Facebook Group Human Milk 4 Human Babies. Post what you have to donate. I was able to offload my freezer stash to a very grateful mom who had undersupply and a baby with colic. I was contacted by at least 3 women very quickly, all of whom wanted to come to my house to pick it up. There are lots of women who want your milk and would be grateful to have it.

I’m not sure who would buy. I have insufficient glandular tissues and produce little milk. For both of my babies, I suggested to LC that I perhaps need to purchase or get donated breast milks and both times, they said it was not necessary as my babies are full term and healthy. They said it’s only necessary if the babies are undeerweight or preemies. I know it’s your milk, OP, but pls consider donating them. I know the places that accept donated milk has a way of processing (not sure about terminology here) them to make sure it’s safe for others to use.
