American Mothers Turn to Selling Breast Milk
Emily Enger, a 33-year-old from Minnesota, is part of a growing trend where American mothers are earning extra income by supplying excess breast milk. As a mother of five, she pumps and stores extra milk not for her own children, but for sale to strangers.
Driven by a cultural shift towards breastfeeding, this trend has been fueled by influencers and the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement championed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. encouraging breastfeeding over formula feeding.
The Benefits of Breastfeeding
Embracing breastfeeding publicly, mothers are recognizing the nutritional benefits of breast milk over formula. The mindset “breast is best” is gaining popularity over the previous “fed is best” mantra.
Challenges and Alternatives
Despite the growing awareness, not all mothers can produce enough milk due to various challenges. Short maternity leaves, medication, and health complications often lead mothers to seek alternatives like purchasing breast milk.
For example, Briana Westland, a new mother from Fort Lauderdale, prioritizes the nutritional quality of breast milk for her four-month-old daughter over formula. She believes in questioning the ingredients in formula, a trend echoed by many parents in recent times.
The Business of Breast Milk
Emily Enger, as an oversupplier, has been selling large quantities of breast milk daily, valued for the time and effort put into producing it. With the stigma around breast milk lifted, capitalism has also entered the market with innovative products like breast milk-flavoured ice cream being introduced.
