There is zero risk of catching any communicable disease when soap is made from breast milk. For generations, people have been using products made from goats, cows milk, and even donkey milk because of it's moisturizing properties. If you can use those products, why wouldn't you use breast milk soap?

As to the...I think breast milk should feed babies.<br /><br />As to the communicable disease issue - I suspect that the lye would kill anything that might be living in the milk. I'm no scientist but lye is nasty stuff and it does heat the milk/water mixture to over boiling so I don't think that would be an issue.<br /><br />That being said I will not be trying these products...brokenteepeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907414560986208401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268156102749680960.post-39290752470165131602012-07-24T09:50:24.730-07:002012-07-24T09:50:24.730-07:00Thanks guys, Haley I agree with you wholeheartedly...Thanks guys, Haley I agree with you wholeheartedly. Also, I am SO impressed with your dedication, not only to Syd but also to that poor baby. Props to you, Miss Awesomesauce...seriously. But yeah, if a woman told me she wanted to make her own soap and use it I would be like "right on." But it is providing it to the consumer that makes me feel conflicted. Also, how on EARTH is she 14 months old? Time surely flies.<br /><br />Michelle, what you said struck a major chord with me. For many reasons, I will never be in the position you are but I just get squicked at the idea for myself. Many people say that changes with impending motherhood...I'll never know. But I always thought that my small baby destroying my lovely lady lumps would breed contempt in me (don't everyone reading this get mad...I know its dumb). Also, good luck! You are going to be a rock star mom.<br /><br />Heather...yeah. According to Angerer he only made the cheese for his private consumption and I GUESS that's ok but I'm still thinking donating the milk to a needy baby might be the better plan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01209460322854325411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268156102749680960.post-66617056265175218622012-07-23T22:53:35.717-07:002012-07-23T22:53:35.717-07:00I have no issues with breastfeeding, but there is ...I have no issues with breastfeeding, but there is no way on earth I would use breast milk soap or consume breast milk cheese or ice cream.

That's just ick.<br /><br />On a side note, I felt for years that I wouldn't breast feed for my own personal, illogical reasons. And then I got pregnant, and my attitude changed. I'm still not wholly looking forward to it, but I am much more resolved to try & do this super healthy thing for my baby. <br /><br />That was my change of heart. I do not think my motivators would necessarily work for everyone, nor should everyone be made to follow the same stipulations on what makes a "good mother." My two cents. :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087060180219918649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268156102749680960.post-8866443792443220552012-07-23T13:05:40.580-07:002012-07-23T13:05:40.580-07:00Alright, I'll bite. ;)
First of all, wow - t...Alright, I'll bite. ;) <br /><br />First of all, wow - this is pretty fascinating. I never considered the world of breastmilk soap. Full disclosure: I am a breastfeeding mom. That is am, not was, as my 14 month old is still nursing. (There are a lot of reasons for this, but many are private, and I'd rather not share in a blog comment). We can establish that I'm pretty pro-breastfeeding.<br /><br />Next, I'll say that breastmilk is amazing stuff. Its antibacterial properties and good fats do some amazing things. I have used my own milk to correct a blocked tear duct in my daughter's eye, and I have rubbed milk on some cuts (my own and hers) to heal them quicker. I have even donated milk to a baby whose mother died two weeks after giving birth, so I'm OK with milk sharing and donation.<br /><br />There is no way I'm buying that soap. <br /><br />If rubbing boob milk all over my body (it is supposed to be good for your skin, but I am not that hardcore) ever appeals to me, I'll make my own soap, tyvm. And, I have no intentions of ever making any soap. I particularly don't want to bathe myself in some strange woman's milk. Ick.<br /><br />And that sums up my feelings on savon de boob.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
