DCM Furious After DCP Breastfed Child Without Permission

[laundrymom]

The key here is you KNOW these people. You're not directly going against the wishes of a stranger and nursing her child. You know them. They know you. And they didn't say "no". That's where it grosses me or weirds me.the fact that she blatantly disregarded moms authority.
That's just wrong. And as the mother it would gross me and weird me and eww me out.
I would know nothing about this woman or her milk.
The actual act of nursing someone else's biological child isn't off putting. But the whole "stranger who thought they were the authority for my child" would.

This! I have offered my milk to clients before. None of them took me up on it, but none were put off by my offer. I have nursed both my nieces. Just easier when they stay overnight, especially with the new baby niece. She is breastfed exclusively, and doesn't take a bottle well at times. So the couple times we've kept the kids overnight, I've nursed her, w/ my SIL's permission, of course. I'd totally be a wet nurse. I just cut my 6 yr old off a couple weeks ago. Once he lost milkteeth, he's done. He still asks for it, but I am done. He was only getting it for like 30 secs anyway. Still nurse my 2 and a half yr old. She's currently nursing as I type.

What everyone else said. And "lactivist"--too funny! I've never heard that word before.

But also, I thought the news article was really lacking in details. I kept expecting to learn more but the article was so short.

Sort of this. Big difference between nursing family members, with parent permission, and nursing day care kids, IMO. I also think the clients you have are a big part of it. I imagine MN's clients tend to be more on the "crunchy" side. At most, I could be considered "slightly crispy" :: I would be weirded out by a staff member at a day care center offering to BF my kid.

Just read Lyseskids link.

Mom and breast feeder were co-workers, as mom also works at the center.

But UGH at the comments. Many are judging the mother for having to work and put her baby in day care.
I can't believe in 2017 people are still blaming the mother for that.
So sorry I have student loans, a mortgage, bills, orthodontics, college savings, and retirement that I need to take care of.

Right! I have a policy that I do NOT wear infants, much less breast feed them, :: Of course, my youngest is 10 1/2 so that ship sailed a long time ago::
Because that's a PARENT'S job.

Yup, though I'm not as crunchy as I once was...
