Why on earth would you?
Breast milk is formulated to give a baby all the nutrients it needs to grow.
The same applies to cows milk.
Milk is not necessary for grown-ups, sorry if its not the answer you're looking for.

I think it's a great idea. Cow milk was made for baby cows. It makes much more sense for humans to drink human milk. Plus, human milk is sweeter and tastes better than cow milk.

I call BS on this. Human milk is NOT sweeter than cows milk.

Maybe it varies from person to person. My wife's was very sweet.

I used to drink my own breast milk.

For real?

Well. I tried it. Of course. Here i was nursing the baby with my cup of tea and it was far too much work to go get the cream, so I figured "why not?!"

ETA: I used to also shoot it across the room for kicks. That stuff goes a good 5 ft.

lol

do you also think its a good idea for humans to eat other humans? wow

Dude, relax, it's paleo.

Trust me, I am definitely not paleo.

Mine too, except one time when it tasted like vomit. I'm not sure what went wrong that time.

I don't know, my husband never complained. I didn't drink any on purpose but stuff gets on your hands and hands get in your mouth and I agree . . . generally sweeter than cows milk, but I do believe that it is dependent on diet. For example, I would think that asparagus would do some interesting things to it.

i like this sip person -_-

Well, there's also the part about how it's more watery at first and more creamy later. I only ever tried the watery stuff because my baby was too skinny and he needed all the fatty creamy stuff. So maybe I missed out on the good milk.

Hey.
It wasn't homogenized!

Only good when consumed straight out the tap...

Even if you get eaten raw*?? That has to be paleo!

Please try it and report back on your findings.

I don't understand why so many people are freaked out by this, you will all happily drink the breastmilk of another species but from your own and its gross? Whos the weird ones....

ANYWAY I think it's a great idea, not only is it nutritious is has amazing health benefits. However the quality issue is something that would bother me, like others have said pretty much everything the donor consumes goes into the milk plus the storage and cleanliness issues, not to mention HIV, hepatitis etc. I wouldn't unless I knew and trusted the person 100%, I wouldn't have donor milk unless it was from the same place the hospital get theirs from (wherever that is) because they have very strict regulations since a lot of donated milk is given to premature babies.

Is the next thing people are going to say is to eat human ground burger? I think cows milk and cows beef should do just fine. Consuming something from another human seems a bit weird to me, other than breast feeding an INFANT.

But the purpose of cow's milk is to feed baby cows. How is drinking milk for baby cows any weirder than drinking milk for baby humans?

You look at things in a very strange way my friend.

or Goat's milk....or Sheep's milk...

why is it ok when you are an infant but not when you are an adult? where is the cut off on weirdness?

This is very definitely a cultural thing. In other parts of the world women breastfeed even toddlers and no one thinks it is strange. But in the US there are large segments of the population who object to any breastfeeding and segments who think it is weird after 6 months, after a year etc.

I suppose if I adhered to a paleo diet this would be true, however since I don't adhere to paleo wouldn't there be trace of all the non-paleo stuff that I ate in the "meat?"

LBNOakland

yeh and semen has protein in it too... need a supplier?

TOOOOOO FUNNY!!! :laugh: Is there a knee slapping smiley?!?

Find it amusing that at least half of those who are incredulous at the idea of drinking human breast milk, are quite happy to chug away on milk from the breasts of cows.

I have no problem with either. Or goat or sheep. Those are the only ones I've actually had.

My boobs are NOT your dinner buffet! :mad:

I agree.

Now, would I actually make the plunge? Im not sure. Probably not. Such a stigma that you have to be a baby to enjoy breast milk....


Weird though...I never remember being calf like and I enjoy COW milk.

You're probably not organic but you're as paleo as anything else conceivably could be. Cave men would eat you fo sho!!

I do have a nicely marbled rump roast, if I do say so myself . . . and I'm free range.

Which is so silly. The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding for a minimum of 2 years. I breastfed my youngest for 2 1/2 years (for various reasons, mostly only in the house at bedtime after he was about 20 months), and he pretty much never gets sick.
