I'm guessing this loon fits into that bunch.

    I don't see it as "helping" the child by providing BM, but as a stranger introducing their own bodily fluids into an infant that isn't theirs and that they don't have the right to do so with. I hope that the charges stick-this is WRONG to do after being told no.

        My first thought was "Well there's one thing I won't be accused of!" Sorry- bad joke. The caffeine hasn't kicked in yet. ::

        Why the **** would she think THAT was a good idea? I'm just shaking my head going "Wow". I'm like "I kind of want to hear her explanation but no- not really."

              Good god! Injecting your bodily fluids into somebody else's baby is not a thing to do, even if you WEREN'T threatening that baby's life, as this provider did.

                  I'm not a mom or even a woman, :: but even I know that was wrong. So many reasons it was wrong.

                    I'm grossed out. Totally.
                    I think she absolutely needs charged.

                      Wet nurses, nowadays? No.

                      WTH was she even thinking to OFFER/ASK? And then to do it anyway?! WTH!

                        Am I the only one that doesn't find this gross? We take milk from a cows utter and drink it all the live long day but don't find that disgusting!

                        Anyway what she did was wrong but I certainly do not find it gross

                          Whoa there! I don't drink cows milk and think that is udderly (haha) gross and disgusting. I'm weirded out by having to serve it to dcks per food plan regs.

                          If I weren't vegan...still. When you're breastfeeding you take careful note of what you are eating to deliver appropriate nutrition to your child. Who's to say this worker isn't doing pot and meth at home? Drinking wine and whatever else? Maybe the child has an allergy and that is why no breast milk.

                          Additonally, breast feeding creates a bond between baby and mother that is so beautiful it shouldn't be replaced by daycare worker. That aspect makes me so steamed for the mom.

                            Actually, yes, the article did state that the child had a lactose intolerance and started vomiting after the care provider breastfed him, so the mom took him to the hospital.

                              I don't find it gross. I think wet nurses, village raising children is awesome. I donated my own breast milk. BUT, I think it needs to be with parent permission. Obviously, that was not the case here.
