Mother sells breast milk to men online

A new mother has been selling her breast milk online to earn extra money while on maternity leave.

Toni Ebdon, 26, of Exeter, Devon, came up with the idea after a friend joked about her opening up a dairy when she produced excess milk for her son David, SWNS reports.

Ebdon said: "I was expecting women who couldn't breast feed to get in touch but instead all the responses were from men.

"Breast milk has healing properties and I think people want to use it for those reasons. I tend not to ask too many questions or pry into people's private lives."

She added: "All communication prior to the sale is done via email and I meet the customer in person to hand over the milk.

”They can have it fresh or store it in the freezer for up to one month. I always feed my baby first so he gets the most nutritious milk.

"I haven't made loads of money but there's plenty more milk to come and I intend to carry on selling it until it dries up."

Ebdon charges £15 for 4oz of breast milk and has ten regular customers.
