It is possible that this discovering that there are women who breastfeed babies of other mothers is strange to many, and that because it is not usual, it generates a certain rejection. However, if one thinks coldly, if one puts the act in relief, one ends up realizing that it is something that has no more significance, if everyone agrees.
A few weeks ago a mother shared this anecdote that I consider a beautiful gesture: that of the day that breastfed the baby of a stranger who had been hospitalized.
I was just breastfeeding
The baby's only food was her mother's breast, and although they would have planned to bottle feed her while they operated, relatives they didn't get the baby to accept it.
As much as they insisted, the baby cried without wanting to feed him, so they decided to ask their friends for help.
Among them, one of the friends recalled that he knew a mother who had a baby of an age similar to the one she was breastfeeding, and decided to ask if she would be willing to do so.
“I was at home preparing a cake”
It was Friday night, as the mother explains on Facebook, and she was preparing a cake when she received a message from a friend asking if she could breastfeed a friend's baby, which she did not know.
He told the story, that they were going to give him a bottle because they were operating the mother, but that the baby rejected him and that they no longer knew what to do.
When the baby arrived, he looked tired and hungry, so he did what he had promised to do: breastfeed while her mother couldn't do it.
I did what I hope anyone would do for my son in a moment of despair. Breastfeed an unknown baby.
In explaining what he had done, he received various signs of rejection, of "I would not have done it" and "that is not natural"; and this surprised him a lot.
So in her Facebook status, in explaining it, she decided to make it clear that what she has are boobs, that they are made to feed babies and, most importantly, that are yours, so that gives you the full right to decide what to do with them.
In any case, and to always remember the moment in which your baby had a “provisional baby brother”, he took the two beautiful photos that we show you here in which it is appreciated that they, the two babies they didn't care too much to have someone next.
Moreover, if you look, they held hands to team up, feeding on the mother of one of them.
