Woman takes out ad to sell breast milk

[MrCoffee]

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - A woman who doesn't want her breast milk to go to waste has taken out a newspaper ad in hopes of selling it. Martha Heller, 22, of Tiffin, took out the ad in The Gazette, offering 100 ounces of her breast milk for $200 or the best offer.

Heller said her freezer is overflowing with breast milk that she has pumped since August. Her 4-month-old daughter won't drink from a bottle and the supply is piling up.

Heller now donates to the University of Iowa's Mother's Milk Bank, but the 100 ounces of milk she wants to sell was pumped before going through the screening process for the bank and cannot be donated.

1. It's the third best thing for a human baby.

1. Mom's milk from the breat
2. Mom's milk from the bottle
3. Another human mother's milk
4 and 5. Cow's milk, formula

I'm not sure which is better, cow's milk or formula, but I have always maintained that cow's milk is for baby cows.

2. I don't know much about breast functionality, but she sounds prodigious.

Perhaps she could spray the neighborhood cats the same way farmers feed the barn cats. 'M just sayin'.

3. From the article

Heller said she hasn't received any legitimate calls about her ad.

"There was one prank caller," she said.

Am I the only one that thought "matcom"?
