I assume the parent poster means "in cases where a lactating mother isn't freely available."

Can you buy human breast milk?




>Can you buy human breats milk

Yes - though it's a caveated "yes". In some places, selling human milk is illegal - but sharing it is not.


Not legally. There are underground exchanges and black markets, etc. La Leche League can hook you up.


Yes, legally.

Human milk can be obtained from a milk bank with a doctor's prescription[1] and sells for $3-5 an oz.[2]

Interesting! We had looked into this before and found that it was difficult/impossible. I'm glad it exists!
