Breast milk, as I recall, is "specially formulated" though some miraculous process* and what's made for one baby will not necessarily be beneficial for another.

* meaning "through some arcane natural biologic process that I do not fully understand and therefore equate with magick"

The percentage of women who want to breastfeed but can't produce milk is incredibly small... much too small I would think to make it a profitable commercial venture. However, if you know someone in need, there are milk banks.

Besides, why bottle it when you can hire a "wet nurse?"

As far as antibodies, yes you're right - not so much for nutrition though. Of course, you're not getting any relevant antibodies from powdered cow milk either.
