Heather it's only the milk selling websites that do this. They are dodgy and I've no concerns with women being warned that milk that is being sold is not trustworthy. Part of the reason why that article makes me so cranky is that they do not distinguish between milk selling and milk donation which are so very different in terms of risk and process. That said, I suspect that the listings are not really any different from the sort of advertisements that were used for wet nurses a hundred years ago....that's another study.

This cannot possibly be a good thing. There should be a code of practice about it.
