Sure. Why not? It's totally natural and if we feed our kids breast milk, we should be able to eat it as cheese ourselves.

No. Breast milk is for babies and shouldn't be consumed in any other form. It's a total publicity stunt on the chef's part.

          If mommy was in a controlled environment like goats & cows,why not? But if she smoked, ate junk, did drugs? You want this in your cheese?

          Breast milk cheese will allow welfare moms with 10 kids to earn extra income as cow substitutes!

            Breastmilk can transfer serious diseases like HIV, could the viruses end up in the cheese if unhealthy milk were hypothetically used?

            As long as it was pasteurized, why not? I eat cheese from sheep and goats, buffaloes and cows. Others use horse milk. Why not human?

                    That breast milk is a product of what she has eaten. And what may that be? Not interested.

                      I breast fed 4 children. Any left-over breast milk in the freezer was dumped after a few days to make room for other foods.

                        EWWWWWW!!! I can't even imagine it, and I did breast feed. Breast milk is for babies, not full grown adults...EWWWWWW!!!!

                          Sure, why not...We consume breast milk from cows, goats, etc. I think it's the sexual reference and (property) that gets to people.

                          It's a shame, really. There are breast milk banks that could make a lot better use of her copious milk production.

                            If I'd had an overabundance of milk with my second baby, I might have made cheese and given it to my daughter - but most likely I would have just given her the milk to drink. Personally, I wouldn't eat it.

                              why stop at cheese? how about yogurt or ice cream? (honestly, I am squirming a bit here.)

                                      No, a hundred years ago and 10,000 years ago wet-nurses, as they were called, were commonly hired to feed other people's children, and human breast milk was prescribed for feeding invalids and senile patients. There were so many children born dead that a woman who had lost a child could make a good living off her milk.

                                            I say, sure, why not?? I am a biologist and I would be much happier to eat cheese made from breast milk from someone that I knew had not been pumped full of growth hormones or antibiotics as most cows are!

                                              Sure I would eat breast milk cheese; many of us have enjoyed breast milk from our wives when they were nursing our babies.

                                              It used to be said that when a young couple marries they don't need much money as they can live on love for the first 9 months, and after that there is milk in the family.

                                                        Methinks it's a GREAT idea. I drink the stuff myself when my wife has too much and has to pump (even better directly from the dispenser). Would NEVER consider throwing it out; that stuff is like liquid gold. Family of 10 kids and we have used "Mommy milk" on our cereal as well s to heal minor sraps and cuts on the kids. Whoever invented it was a GENIOUS!!!!!!

                                                            I dont see the big Eww factor, You drink milk from cows and all those other animals. Drinking human milk is a natural thing.

                                                            If your saying EWWW Then dont feed it to you babies

                                                              Just because something is edible doesn't always mean you should eat/drink it!

                                                                HEY!!!! You prudes out there. DOn't promulgate your inhibitions on the rest of us. Maybe you were denied your mother's milk when you were infants; for that I feel sorry for you. It would surely e xplain some of your problems and hangups. I am the father of 10 children who were all breastfed and can atest to the benefits and advantages my children received as a result of it. Breastmilk is milk. Period!!! Doesn't matter where it comes from; it is MILK. Sure, my wife doesn't have four stomachs and didn't have to sit on the couch chewing her cud for hours to produce it but I'd count that on the plus side. Breastmilk is HEALTHY and curative and beneficial. It kills cancer cells on contact. It cures cuts and scraps fives times faster than the normal process. It tastes different bit I understand goat milk tastes different than cow milk. GET OFF YOUR PRUDISH HIGH HORSES and stop spewing your perverted personal inhibitions out to the rest of us who just see natural things as natural. Breasts are not a sex organ; they are mamary glands intended to feed our children. When you prudes see natural and beautiful things as sexual perversions, you only lay bare your own personal problems. I feel sorry for you. All of your "Ewwwww's" and "that's gross" sound like the grunting of pigs reacting to pearls being tossed before them. GROW UP!
