Babies love breast milk, but apparently our leche is getting more and more popular with adults too. Now, there's nothing wrong with grown-ups loving breast milk–our supply is pretty yummy and nutritious. But once strange products start to come out using our breast milk, I think it starts to feel a little strange and creepy. Not sure what I'm talking about? Here are 10 really crazy things some people are doing with breast milk. I have no words for some of them, like the lasagna, but others make some sense (the jewelry is sort of cute). Still, take a look and judge for yourself!

Ice cream
Dessert just got a sweet (or gross) new twist. A British company Licktators created a breast milk ice cream flavor in honor of the second royal baby. Apparently the breast milk is screened to hospital standards, but eating a random person's breast milk doesn't sound too appetizing to me.
Butter
Last year, we reported on a Redditor who made butter out of her own breast milk. She placed her breast milk in a large container and started to shake for about 40 minutes until the liquid started to solidify. I guess we know what type of butter she was using in her cupcakes!
Jewelry
The MommyMilk Etsy shop sells a kit that will make keepsake jewelry out of your breast milk.
Canapé
Chef Daniel Angerer made cheese from his wife's breast milk a couple of years ago and let diners at his now-defunct N.Y.C. restaurant munch on it.
Soap
If you'd like to, you can ship your frozen breat milk to TinRoofSoapCo and they can turn it into a custom bar of soap for you.
Lollipops
Lollyphile came up with the idea of making a breast milk flavored lollipop for the breastfeeder in all of us, I guess. The lollipos are not made with actual breastmilk, but are formulated to taste like the real deal. I have no idea who the taste-testers for this porduct were. I find it very strange.
Booties
Artists Nick Gant and Tanya Dean created booties out of donated breast milk to promote World Breast Milk Donation Day.
Sell your supply online
Breast milk could end up being a lucrative side business. Mom Rebecca Hudson decided to sell her supply online and instantly started to make thousands of dollars. Her top clients are chefs. That's very weird. Are we all eating random breast milk at restaurants and don't even know it?!
Cheese
Cheese, anyone? Some believe cheese made from human breast milk is healthier than cow or goat milk. Artist Miriam Simun has started her own cheese shop for those with curious taste buds. If someone decided to sneak it into my lasagna I probably couldn't tell the difference!
Energy drink
Athletes are now using breast milk to get an added boost of energy and protein. The weird thing is having to buy the breast milk for strange vendors online. I wouldn't risk getting poisoned for more muscles! These men are locos.
Lactation lasagna
I love lasagna, but not made out of someone's random breast milk! Chef Abi Blake loves cooking with breast milk and his famous "lactation lasagna" is his favorite dish to make. "Although the idea of eating something made out of someone else's breast milk may make some people's stomachs turn, it is full of vitamins that can never be found in cow’s milk," he says. Point taken!
Lotion
Breast milk lotion is amazing for curing eczema, sunburn and dry skin. The recipe includes breast milk, beeswax and vitamin E oil. Doesn't sound strange, right? Well, some moms hope to sell their homemade breast milk lotion for the masses. Now that's moisture I'm not interested in.
