Does allowing your baby to comfort breastfeed create future problems?

No I wouldnt be comfortable with it, if you personally know the person or are related to them id understand someone wanting them to breastfeed their baby if they couldnt do it themselves, but a random person would be strange as you don't know them, what they eat or even if they drink/smoke in secret and your baby will be drinking that milk. If it was coming from a breast pump it wouldnt be so hard to deal with, but direct from the breast id find hard to see someone else feed my baby as I think personally the mother should be the only one to breastfeed a baby but thats my opinion. I wouldnt let anyone do it to my baby but me, but of course thats up to the mother themselves, ive heard women donate breastmilk which is particuarly useful to premature babies etc so I think thats nice, and if there was no such thing as formula and women couldnt breastfeed their babies id probably donate to help or if my baby needed it id be very greatful, but I don't think I could let my child drink someone elses milk if it wasnt necessary and I was capable of doing it myself, itd make me feel a bit left out as part of bonding with breastfeeding is that its your milk your feeding them id feel like a failure if I couldnt do it and someone else did ( I don't mean it makes you a failure, just that id feel that way not being able to feed my own baby).

I havent got anything against it if thats what you want to do its your choice im not judging at all thats just my views on it as its a big part of having a newborn and can take away the special bond for a lot of women.

In an emergency situation, absolutely. In a bind, if it was someone I knew and trusted well, probably. Otherwise, if I'm perfectly able to nurse my baby myself, I'll be the one doing it.

I would definitely be more comfortable with a trusted lactating friend nursing my baby than offering formula. Based on my research, I feel that another woman's breastmilk would be less risky than formula. The World Health Organization actually recommends milk from another mother before artificial human milk substitutes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
