1,000 ounces? How long does it take to collect that much?

2 to 15 oz. per pumping session depending on pump equipment and physiology. She probably had a surplus amount frozen. Otherwise, you’re talking months.

It’s quite possible to pump over 90oz/day.

It’s quite a commitment though.

Basically, pump every 2 hrs and then once in middle of the night...then wash up the gear.

Rinse/repeat...literally :-)

I hardly see how this is even legal, given the gestapo-like treatment of anyone selling raw milk in the past. It sounds like a disease outbreak waiting to happen to be quite honest, to me. Who is going to feed their infant breast milk from some strange, unknown female, transported under unknown conditions, procured under unknown sanitary conditions?

That is 3/4 of a GALLON!

Id like to see that. She would have to be part Holstien.

I thought about that too. I have heard farmers being given a terrible time as they try to sell raw milk to a public that asks for it. Those doing the checking can become very aggressive.

This is the same reason why children with Lemonade Stands are occasionally given a hard time by police because they have no food handlers permit. No one wants to make Junior or little Cynthia tear up, but we need to be careful. It’s not necessarily just to tie the kids up in Red Tape, the law enforcement is done to ensure safety to the buying public. Somebody should be held responsible if too much goes wrong.

Some women make $$ pumping milk.

After shipping/dry ice/plastic freeze pouches costs, it can still bring in some dough.

Odd way to make a living...

It’s liquid gold.

And one need not be pregnant to start lactation.

Raw milk is legal in the rest of the world daily. Not the US. This is breast milk, it get different treatment by the statists. Don’t tell the feminists that your going to mess with that, the outrage! If cows where feminists, they would say more than, eat more chicken.

I so wanted to run that line out!!! Restraint is good, but I enjoy a good laugh! More now as I get older, I don’t care about the PC police. They can bring what little they have.

Precisely no one.

If their infants are still breastfeeding, mom has her own supply.

If they're not breastfeeding, there's always Similac. I hauled a ton of that stuff to Slidell, LA, in the Katrina Airlift in my RV-6 (not all at once!).
