Is it safe for me to give my frozen expressed breastmilk to a newborn of a friend who can't produce? i'm healthy with no disease or bad habits.

Possibly: there are quite a number of safety measures that human milk banks go through to make sure their donors are healthy enough to donate frozen expressed breast milk. I would advise you to contact your local children's hospital or a human milk bank and find out what screening they do before you attempt to donate milk. The handling of the milk is also crucial in preventing spoilage. Be safe first !
