Breast Milk Soap

[LJA]

I am nursing right now and I plan to make a castille for my daughter with breast milk. At first, the idea totally skeeved me out....but since BM is all over my clothes all the time (I am a leaker!) I am used to it.

I would not give it away or sell it, though.

Let's just say I did not register "BM" as "breast milk" when I read this...lol. Ew. Can you even DO this? I'm not sure bodily fluids in soap is legal, nevermind squicky. :shock:

Bowel movement . In my line of work it is called BM. And seeing it all over is pretty normal. TMI I know.

I wonder if LJA thought it was that, too.

LMAO...you guys are too funny.
This thread is interesting with all of the varied opinions.

My son, mother and best friend all have skin conditions and my mom and friend have both separately asked me to make them some breast milk soap with my milk.

I have an excess of milk and will be making a momma's milk soap shortly. I don't know if I would consider selling it. I suppose if a person asked for it I would think about it.

I even think that I would use someone else's soap made with it. Because if someone cares enough to make it, they probably care about themselves and their kids enough to take care of themselves and be aware if they have communicable diseases and be responsible.

I'm sure that there are some unscrupulous characters out there somewhere, but I really don't think that Momma milk soap is something that will be mass marketed.

If I could make the soap with my own breast milk , I would totally try it .Someone else's , not a chance.

if you have an excess of milk you may look into donating it to a milk bank for babies of moms who cannot produce (enough) or the like. that stuff is like gold.

my mom was told that a few drops of breast milk would cure my baby brothers pink eye. she did try it and it worked.

Hi, carebear. I am actually signed up to be a donor of my milk with another org.
I checked out the link that you provided and I would love to donate there too when the start accepting donations again. Thanks for the link! :wink:

In hindsight, I should have just typed breast milk again! lol

Not at all!!! where's the fun on that?

I'd say "BM" worked perfectly.

Which just goes to prove... just cause it's 'natural' doesn't mean it makes a better soap!

 

[Jamn!]

I have to <<<giggle>>> at some of the comments!

We (U.S. I am speaking generally but of course not everyone) think almost nothing of watching people blown away on TV constantly, (blood guts and all) but the thought of mother's milk being used in a soap makes us squeamish.
I breast fed all my kids and had to freeze some for a while when I went back to work. I had to thaw it and warm it up like regular formula. After a while it didn't feel any different than formula.

I would want the soap to be sterile and if I had a serious skin ailment I would probably try it. Maybe a HP soap would be better?
