A friend sent this article today, Swiss Restaurant to Serve Meal Cooked with Human Breast Milk. Market price--women will receive just over 3 pounds per 14 ounces of breast milk. With current exchange rates, that $5.45 per 14 ounces of milk. Finally a solution for all those lactating mothers out there who are worried about the cost of a daily Starbucks latte. Texas Mommy, you are in the money ;-)Pretty strange.

Red, you think it sounds strange, but that all depends on your perspective.
hey, this might be a legitimate possibility for me! I am Germany, still lactating and always in need of more family income.. what else is required? ;)
Mad Cow,
When is the last time you drank milk from your lactating mother? Do they feed you so poorly on the feed lot that adult cows breastfeed? I think not.
Bring it on.
Awol,
After much though, $5.45 per 14 oz is really a raw deal. It might pay for a Starbucks, but it won't make a dent in those student loans.
I meant to say, after much thought, sorry about that!
Sign me up! After he met a homeschooling Dad at a potluck this weekend, Mr. Incredible and I were jestingly discussing career options for me that would bring in the dough and let him stay at home. I think I've found my niche. I just took 300 ounces to the milk bank. Cha-ching!
Texas Mommy, maybe you can convince that homeschooling dad to start the men's edition of Building Cathedrals. My hubby could use the comraderie after a long afternoon of caring for our little firecracker!
I don't think we would want this to catch on. Instead there is a wonderful program that takes donations and the milk is used to feed preemies which could literally save their lives.

Anon, don't worry, we are just joking around! The milk bank I was talking about going to is where I donate at a local NICU that distributes nationally. I'm planning on doing a post about this on wednesday, because we've had so many questions in the comments and via email!
Tex;
I'm a new mom (SBG is 12 weeks) with a freezer FULL of milk! I pump during the day at work and get twice what he needs for the next day! we are running out of room in our freezer... where can i find out more about milkbanks?
