Are you a nursing mom?

[aroraborealis]

Lots of nursing moms pump and freeze breast milk for their babies to drink when mom's not around. But sometimes you don't get to the pumped milk before it expires! What to do?

If you have leftover or expired breast milk, razil and I would like to use it to make soap, and we'll split the resulting batch with you! Or you can get an assortment of our various soaps, or...?

It's better than just tossing it, right? :)

i've forgotten... what sort of quantities are you looking for? (this is, of course, completely disregarding transport issues)

We could do a batch with as few as a couple of ounces, though more than 5 would be better.

In the past, people have just kept their expired milk in the freezer until their kids weaned, and then we threw it all together in one batch, typically around 10 oz.

You get me next month. Or at least, I'll be in your neighborhood, but haven't actually bought plane tickets yet so haven't considered lodging or socializing yet. I guess it would make sense to check milk with luggage? I know baby's milk is on the list of non-terrorist fluids, but I am suspiciously baby-free.

our lodging is pretty full for february, but i'd love to see you (as, i'm sure would pip)!

There's no big rush unless you're running out of freezer space. :)

if only you had asked a year ago... I threw out about 2-3gallons worth.

first off, yow, that's an interesting project.

meanwhile, i can't find an email address for you conveniently and i'm lazy, but i wanted to ping you about whether you were going to need to borrow my coffeemaker and/or crockpot for other purposes, and possibly also the truck. myfirstname at offhand.org works for email to me.
