Contestant drinks her own breast milk–ewwww!

Posted on 26 February 2008 by Syndeee

Claire-Aimee Unabia (”Claire”) , a contestant on America’s Next Top Model–Tyra Bank’s popular hit show on CBS–revealed to the world that she has been drinking her own breast milk.

This is how it went down: she told Tyra that she wants her breast milk to keep flowing so that she can continue to breastfeed her daughter when the show is over and she is back at home. Sounds normal…..So, naturally, Tyra asked her if she’s been shipping the breast milk home to her baby…her answer:

“Right now I’m actually drinking it. It tastes kind of like light soy milk.”

Gross! So disgusting!

Claire went online and answered questions about this from viewers, saying:

“I drank my breast milk only during audition week because I did not want to waste it after putting all my effort into making and extracting it. Dumping milk just seems wrong. A mother’s milk is like liquid gold, so I also wanted the nutritional value back and to keep my immunity up.”

She went on to say that she was drinking two to three glasses of her own breast milk each day.

Hmmm….good thing she’s doing whats best for her baby–what a thoughtful mom–rather than shipping the milk back to the vulnerable, growing babe that needs the “liquid gold,” she keeps it for herself to keep her immunity up–she should’ve said, “Who gives a crap about my baby’s immunity; I needed to think about my future, not hers!” How endearing…

Anyhow, Dr. Myron Peterson, a pediatrician from Cato Research in Boston said, “I’ve never heard of anything like it. Theres no danger to it, but it’s just kind of strange.”

Kinda strange? Ya, to say the least.

    How do you propose that she ship the milk? You seem to have a solution at hand, why not share. Have you tried shipping milk far? I’ve had milk delivered – it was picked up daily by a refrigerated hospital van and delivered to babies at the hospital which is roughly 20 minutes drive away. Fridge van for 20 minutes drive. So slapping a bottle in a plain fedex envelope won’t do.
