The children tend to be more resistant to disease early in life and less likely to contract several diseases later in life, including juvenile diabetes, multiple sclerosis, heart disease and cancer before age 15. For women who can\u2019t produce their own milk, sharing is an alternative.<\/p>\n<p>And while there has been some concern raised in the medical community that the Internet is a dangerous way to exchange milk among strangers with little or no way to guarantee the quality or safety of the milk being exchanged, the Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ study didn\u2019t find the exchange among strangers something that routinely happens in Central Florida. They also found that the buying and selling of milk was rare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea that women are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/03\/21\/business\/breast-milk-products-commercialization.html?_r=0\">buying milk from strangers over the Internet<\/a> and having it shipped through the mail was not supported by our study,\u201d said Shannon K. Carter, assistant professor of sociology and co-author on the study. \u201cThe medical community seems to have a perception that women are buying or obtaining breast milk from anyone who will provide it and that they can find on the Internet. We found milk sharing to be a much more complex process, involving friends, friends of friends, and hybrid online\/offline communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ team, which also included assistant professor of sociology Melanie Sberna Hinojosa, circulated surveys through Facebook to 18 Central Florida parenting communities, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hm4hb\/\">Human Milk 4 Human Babies<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EOFflorida\">Eats on Feets Florida<\/a> web pages, personal web pages, and the web pages of 20 professional contacts. The study is based on the responses and analysis from 392 participants.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the participants in the survey were college educated with 64 percent having earned a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher. About 47 percent of participants had household incomes above $70,000 and most women said they were unemployed. The majority of women (70 percent) had one or two children and all but one respondent had been sharing breast milk since 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Alison Serra, of Orange City, knew she wanted to breastfeed her daughter because of all the benefits, but her plans to do it on her own didn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I struggled to breastfeed my daughter myself, I knew that I had to pursue the next best option,\u201d said the former substitute teacher. \u201cMilk sharing eased the pain of not breastfeeding my daughter for as long as I had hoped. I just had to seek out that which I knew was best for my baby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Serra, who participated in Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½\u2019s study, was able to give her daughter Alaina breast milk from 2012 to 2014 thanks to an exchange network. Alaina is now three-years-old and Serra is expecting her second child. She said if needed, she would again turn to milk sharing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was an incredibly positive experience,\u201d she said. \u201cThe women who shared milk with my daughter were more than happy to do so and I am so grateful for each of them. This is the power of community and technology and love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the safety concerns, Serra said research is important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI support milk sharing communities,\u201d she said. \u201cI think research should focus on the safety of the practice, the unknown mechanisms at work in breast milk, and teaching safe handling and storage and donor screening.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sharing breast milk to feed babies is a practice dating back millennia, and the Internet has facilitated the process creating some surprising exchanges.
