For sale: Breast milk
A first-time mum, Toni Ebdon from England has found an enterprising way of earning a living - by selling her excessive breast milk online.
The 26-year-old busty Toni, who gave birth to a baby boy early this year, found herself producing more than enough milk for baby David.
So she turned to the internet in a bid to offer expectant mothers who could not produce their own milk the chance to buy hers.
Business is brisk. But to her surprise, all her online clients turned out to be men - who claim to use the milk for its healing properties.
"I was expecting women who couldn't breast feed to get in touch but instead all the responses were from men," she tells Metro.
Studies have shown breast milk can be used to maintain general good health and could even be a miracle cure for adult illnesses including cancer, diarrhoea and diabetes.
"I tend not to ask too many questions (to my male clients) or pry into people's private lives. I will meet the customer in person to hand over the milk."
Toni sells 237 ml (4oz) of her breat milk for £15 (RM72).
It takes her between 15 minutes to an hour to produce 28 grammes of milk.
All communication prior to her business transaction is done via the e-mail.
Her clients are given a choice of either having it fresh in a bottle or keep chilled. "Breast milk can be stored in the freezer up to a month," she explains.
But the doting mum will only start pumping her milk after baby David is well fed.
"I always feed my baby first so he gets the most nutritious milk."
fondling too rough!
