Julia, 32, is an elementary school teacher. It seems that in the United States, teachers also do not eat from golden dishes: the woman did not have enough money on a regular basis. Julie solved financial problems in a rather non-standard way: she decided to become a surrogate mother for an infertile couple. After giving birth, she pumped milk for another six months so that the newly-made parents could feed the baby the most useful food in the world. And then there was simply nowhere to put it.
“I posted an ad on the Internet, offered my milk to other parents who have difficulties with breastfeeding,” says the milk fairy. “I set the price – 90 cents for 30 ml of milk.” Translated into Russian currency at the current exchange rate – about 70 rubles.
“Many people were ashamed of me for earning money from my own milk. Like, it costs me nothing. But my milk is great, and I spend a lot of time expressing. So why don’t I sell it to those who really need it? ” Julie shrugs.
According to the surrogate mother, she spends more than one hour a day with a breast pump on her breast. And then you need to pack the milk, wash and sterilize the breast pump, and this also takes time.
“People don’t ask for free formula in the store. So why should I give out my milk for free? Julie wonders. – I even had to change my diet, give up my favorite food, so that the milk was of high quality.
There is one more nuance: the girl receives a lot of comments with a request to send a photo or video of how she expresses milk. Like, you need to make sure that it is really hers. But Julie is not led to such provocations: lovers of nude are immediately sent to the black list.
As for money, Julie pumps 15 ounces of milk a month. That’s 450 liters! And if you translate it into money, you get $ 13500. In total, she earned more than $ 20 thousand from breast milk.
“Now I have a small supply for a rainy day,” Julia smiles.
By the way, many stars do not hesitate to express milk even in public. Who exactly – see our photo gallery.
