A French woman posted an offer on a website to breastfeed babies of gay couples for €100 [$130] a day. She made the offer just weeks after same-sex marriage law was passed. Meanwhile, it’s illegal in France to sell maternal milk.
The post was verified by the website as genuine and legal and it reads: “I am a young mother in perfect health, a trained nurse of 29, and I am renting my breasts to milk-feed infants.” The woman is based near Paris and promised up to 10 breast-feeds a day.
The chief executive of the website, Alexandre Woog, said it’s staff has contacted the woman and had no doubts about her identity and the seriousness of the proposal, nor the legality of the service proposed. Woog told newsmen “Our legal advisers are sure of this. It’s illegal in France to sell maternal milk but this is a person proposing a service, not selling milk in flasks.”
