A woman shared a picture of herself breastfeeding her sister’s son
while the boy’s mother was away – and that woman’s sister later returned
the favor.
The photo appeared Saturday on Breastfeeding Mama Talk, a board on Facebook.
Founder Kristy Kemp started it in 2012 because she wanted to create a
space for breastfeeding mothers to exchange information. She regularly
shares pictures of fellow mothers recounting their breastfeeding
experiences.
The photo shared on Saturday shows a woman smiling at the camera
while breastfeeding her sister’s son. The baby boy’s mother had left a
bottle of her own pumped milk behind, but he wouldn’t accept it.
The bottle of pumped breast milk left by the sister was untouched at that point. But the woman’s sister gave away her milk too.
Feeding a baby another woman’s milk is called wet nursing. When two
women swap their milk, as happened in that instance, is also known as
cross nursing.
