Everyone is feeling the pinch on their purse this Christmas season but one Mum has decided to take money matters into her own hands, or should we say breasts.
Manchester Mum-of-four Rebecca Hudson revealed that she is saving for the festive period by selling her breast milk online.
Hudson appeared on ITV’s This Morning to share her story with host Amanda Holden and Philip Schofield.
The 26-year-old explained that when her daughter was born premature she didn’t produce milk until much later and when she began lactating, it came in “bucket loads”.
The young Mum gave birth 10-weeks early and as a result had a massive excess of milk.
“I didn’t want to pour it away,” she explained, “because it takes a lot of work to produce breast milk”.
“So I thought, if I can make money for my children, I don’t see the harm.”
Hudson has made over £3,000 to date online by selling milk at £12.50 per bottle.
She has 8 regular customers and others that include a body builder, folk who use it to cook with and others who wish to purchase it for sexual desires.
Hudson revealed to Schofield that she doesn’t care what those who are purchasing her milk are using it for.
“What they do with milk is up to them, I’m not going to discriminate,” she said.
“Whether it’s for bodybuilding or sexual preferences it’s up to them”.
The Mum also spoke about how friends and family were surprised by the amount of money she was making from her business venture.
“My friends were quite shocked by how much I’d made and said they will consider doing it too because it’s an easy way to make money”.
