Thousands of women in the UK are selling their breast milk online and charging up to £800 for 'organic' products.

Social media platforms such as Facebook are providing an unregulated booming market for those profiting off a high demand for breast milk, selling to other mothers who can't produce it and even adult men with fetishes.

Traditional donor milk banks in the UK are struggling to meet the demand for breast milk as new mothers strapped for cash are increasingly turning to social media to sell breast milk by the ounce.

A rise in online groups with thousands of members on social media platforms such as Facebook is instead being used to meet demand, often relying on mothers struggling to make ends meet to provide milk.

New mothers selling refrigerated or frozen breast milk on the social media platforms are charging as much as £800, typically pricing between 60p to £2 for one ounce of 'organic' breast milk.
