“Mothers who have an organic or vegan diet will charge up to $3 per ounce but I’m just not that sort of woman. I’m going to have a donut or a steak if I want it”
Photo-Illustration: by Stevie Remsberg; Photo: Getty Get That Money is an exploration of the many ways we think about our finances — what we earn, what we have, and what we want. In Secret Side Hustles, we talk to people with “normal” jobs who make extra cash on the sly. Here, a nurse explains her side gig selling her own breast milk online.
I joined a breastfeeding moms group on Facebook and sure enough, there was a woman asking if anyone had extra breast milk they’d be willing to part with, because she couldn’t produce. I think the fact it was on Facebook helped it feel less creepy. You can see exactly who you are selling to, so there was some accountability. You can also see clearly if it is indeed a woman with a newborn.
Then, when my baby was about 6 months old, my husband and I moved to a different city. I wanted to keep selling, but the new city didn’t have the same sort of Facebook group. I searched online and found a website where women can advertise their breast milk, so I put up an advertisement. That experience was different.
