CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - A woman who doesn't want her breast milk to go to waste has taken out a newspaper ad in hopes of selling it. Twenty-2-year-old Martha Heller of Tiffin, took out the ad in The Gazette, offering 100 ounces of her breast milk for $200 or the best offer. Heller says her freezer is overflowing with breast milk that she's pumped since August. Her 4-month-old daughter won't drink from a bottle and the supply is piling up. Experts say breast milk can generally be stored in a freezer for up to six months. Don McCormick is with the Iowa Department of Public Health. He says he isn't aware of laws in Iowa restricting the sale of breast milk, but state health officials advise against it.

Anyone who has ever bought breast milk knows that $2 an ounce is a rip off.
