If you are producing breast milk from an organic, vegan diet, Alicia Silverstone is interested in you, according to People.
The actress has launched the Kind Mama Milk Share, which is a breast-milk sharing program that works to pair mothers in search of nutrient-rich milk with lactating moms that follow a healthy vegan diet and are willing to share.
Silverstone, 36, made the announcement about the new program on her web site, The Kind Life, which supports clean and eco-friendly living.
"Because we are a community of beautiful souls who recognize the importance of food as health, I say we help support those mamas and babies who need a hand during one of the most important times in their lives," Silverstone wrote on her web site. "If you have milk to share - post it!
"If you are in need of milk - post it!" the actress continued. "Think of all the babies we can help raise together!"
Silverstone was inspired to start the program after a friend contacted her and expressed frustration that she couldn't find breast milk that she felt had been through a rigorous enough vetting process to feed her son after breast-reduction surgery negatively affected her milk supply.
"She tried reaching out in her community for donor milk, but it was almost impossible to figure out what kind of lifestyle choices the donors had made," Silverstone wrote. "And after all that hard work keeping herself vibrant and healthy, she felt she had a right to demand better for her baby."
Many experts agree that sharing breast milk is fine, but the New York Daily News does point out that the FDA doesn't approve of message-board milk shares, due to the possibility of inherent danger in using breast milk that is untested and could potentially contain viruses, including HIV or other serious illnesses.
Silverstone has previously condoned unconventional parenting practices, such as in 2012, when she feed her son, then 10 months old, by chewing his food and transferring it from her mouth to his. The pre-mastication caused controversy.
"People have been feeding their kids that way for thousands of years," she told People. "It's a weaning process.
"I think it's adorable and I laugh every time he does it," she said.
