Weird World: Lactating mother sells bar soap made from breast milk for approx. Ksh 500

A mother has made soap from her own breast milk – and her whole family is now using it.

Ashley White has built up a stockpile of the soap since she gave birth to daughter Mia in April, and she now uses it to wash alongside her family – husband Paul, 10-year-old Mylee, and Mia.

The 31-year-old mother said: “It was a struggle at first as Mia wouldn’t latch and my milk wasn’t coming in, but when it did I wanted to look into other ways of using my milk.

“My milk coming in was a huge relief so I expressed quite a bit and built up a stash in the freezer. I didn’t want my milk going to waste as it felt like a real achievement.”

White added that she is considering cashing in on her unique product.

She said: “I am thinking about selling the soap at the same price as other handmade soaps are selling for, which is about £3 to £4 a bar.”

“I’m 99% sure I will sell the soaps but haven’t thought about a business name or anything like that just yet. I haven’t had any negative backlash for making the soap out of my breast milk – but I’m sure I will!

“I haven’t told many people in my personal circle about it – one friend has called it ‘crazy arse soap’, but my family wants to buy it although I will, of course, give them it to them for free.”
