Is this common practice?

My mom and aunt are twins my aunt wasn’t able to bf like she wanted to milk didn’t come in so my mom would feed her baby sometimes they had them a month apart we found out he was severely allergic to dairy so he had to be put on a special formula after that

I don't see an issue.

If someone in my family or very close to me struggled to breastfeed & I was capable I’d be more than willing to help if I was asked. 🤷‍♀️

Historically speaking, very common practice for the human species. Like before wet nurses ever existed. Like way back to hunter gather societies

I personally wouldn’t want someone else to breastfeed my baby if I could do it myself, if I was having an issue doing it then sure. And I probably wouldn’t want to breastfeed anyone else’s baby, I’m not really close enough to anyone to think I would be okay with that. I can’t think of anyone who would be close enough with me to even ask me to do that 😂

Probably won’t do it unless really needed but I don’t see any issue with it. It’s feeding a baby 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know lots of Muslim women who do this. We call them milk siblings and it does create a family tie if there wasn't one.

There's a yes and a no for me... someone asking me to feed their baby when they have other options, probably not. But if I was to find a baby or heard of a baby that had been abandoned then I'd definitely do it. I wouldn't be comfortable with someone else feeding my baby though.

Maybe I’m weird but I feel like this isn’t that weird, esp if it’s within your family, my sister just had a baby and tbh when I was holding him I was like wow it would be nice to be able to breastfeed him, maybe that’s also because my son is 1 and I recently weaned him and I kinda miss that closeness and those happy hormones and bonding. But yeah, I’d do it for my sisters who I’m very close with and I see their children as like my children by extension😂 but not anyone else’s kids
