Breast Milk For Board on Craigslist


We are offering a free room for a woman who is willing to provide breast milk for consumption to the household. We are an otherwise vegan house but have recently read A.O. Wilson's study of the benefits of human breast milk to all human beings of any age. This is not sexual. Neither appearance nor sexual preference are of any concern to us.

We are willing to accept one child into the house as well. We do not want to take breast milk away from a nursing child however. We also don't need gallons of breast milk but whatever you can muster; it is a nutritional supplement for members of the house who want to partake.

The room is 10'x 15' in a sunny house in Berkeley. There are 7 other people in the house and we live largely communally - shared food and house supplies. You must still pay for food, only rent is free. Reply to this posting and we will set up a time. Contact Dana.

What planet are we on???

This ad was placed on craigslist, Berkley. Breast Milk is for babies people. The quality of it is only as good as the food the mom eats.

HIV and West Nile can be transmitted through breast milk.

In order for one person to provide enough milk for seven people she would have to pump ALL DAY LONG!!!

Please, someone, tell me this is a joke!

While I agree that the ad is quite ridiculous I must disagree that breastmilk is only as good as the food the mother eats. This is a common misconception whereas the truth is a mother's milk no matter what her diet is going to contain basically the same nutrients. The breastmilk will steal the vitamins/minerals from the womans body, thus the reason even anorexic women an breastfeed just fine.

There are also benefits to people of all ages with certain medical problems, mainly digestive issues. The milk bank I donate to also delivers milk to adults as well as babies.
