I am sorry that you had to undergo so much trouble. There should be better lactation consultants for sure. There are breast milk banks where donated breast milk saves scores of children everyday. I think today’s technology that freezes breast milk and allows women to bank the excess they express is the equivalent of wet nurses. It is the most noble form of charity and donation.

There are many organizations like La leche foundation and human milk banks. They usually direct their donations to premature and severely malnourished infants. Donation of human milk saves lives. Milk is pasteurized before consumption. It is also tested.

When it’s expired or when women don’t want to donate their excess milk, I have known some mothers turn it to cheese.

On a lighter note, there is a fetishized demand for breast milk soap. A lady on our Nextdoor forum sells them like hot cakes and I heard she bought herself a new car . We all had a laugh about it but I guess every dollar helps!
