Written by a dad:

"Milksharing and milkselling are two different things. I can’t speak to milkselling, because no one in my house so much as considered it. But milksharing—that is, getting or giving donated milk—is a truly beautiful thing. Women who donate milk aren’t in it for money. They’re in it to help other children. For whatever reason, they have a surplus of breastmilk, and they want to give it to someone who doesn’t have enough. Through online milksharing communities, we were able to find a group of local people, meet them in person, vet them, and determine the quality of the donors we were choosing. These were not nameless, faceless donors through a milk bank. These were real women donating the same milk they were using to keep their own children alive every day."
