A Montreal-based mother and breast-feeding activist and a midwife in Arizona have created Eats on Feets, which uses the power of social networking to help women swap breast milk over the Internet. So far, it’s a hit.
Time reports that around 100 local chapters have already sprung up in all 50 U.S. states and almost two dozen countries; the group’s Twitter feed indicates that the media coverage might have helped them grow their ranks even more. They don’t deliver the milk themselves, screen donors, or intervene in the mom-2-mom relationships in any other way besides putting donor moms in touch with moms in need. The milk is mailed and then usually flash-treated by the recipient to kill off diseases; a YouTube video explains the process (everything’s on YouTube!).
