A Craigslist ad offering to sell frozen mother’s milk is being called “very dangerous” by officials with the Mother’s Milk Bank at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children at P/SL.
“I am a very healthy mom (never done drugs, smoked, or even drank alcohol) of three kids,” the ad begins.
The poster said she is producing more milk than needed and has more than 200 ounces of milk in deep freeze.
She said she would like to sell it, but is willing to work something out.

So she SAYS she is clean- sadly in today’s world – I would not trust it.
If she really has that much extra milk there are NICU units that take donations- or there were the last time I had extra.
