Most grandmas do it just to keep the baby from crying especially when the mum is not available
There's no danger in this,(provided she's my mum)also the milk of course must have dried up years
Ago...babies love to suck so it's just like giving them a pacifier...no milk,no dirt but it keeps them
occupied till mommy gets home to feed them with the real deal.
Yeah, exactly..

what is grandmum feeding the baby with?
Re: Grandmothers Breastfeeding Their Grandchildren: Right Or Wrong? by hensben(m): 2:24pm On Dec 17, 2014
Not really advisable...

seven things grandmother should do;

1) “Make sure Mommy and Baby and Daddy get bonding time without anyone begging to hold the baby. Basically, be the Gatekeeper.”

2) “Asking how you can help and also mentioning things that you would like to do, like the dishes and adding, is that ok with you? As in letting her know she is still queen of the castle and all you want is to help.”

3) “Ask the parents to be for the names and numbers of all their friends and anyone who has ever offered to help them. Call all these people and set up a meal and chore train to start as soon as baby is born.”

4) “Also, if your daughter snaps at you for something-remember she might be under a ton of stress at the moment and you’re a ‘safe’ person to snap at. Please, please, please don’t be hurt and don’t take it personally.”

5) “Saying encouraging words like you are doing a great job and the like are nice too.”

6) “When you visit, your job will be to take care of the mama and the house if needed. Trust, she will appreciate having someone there who is not plotting to pry that new baby from her arms. Just keep her fed, hydrated, and throw a load of laundry in the machine and you will have her undying gratitude.”

7) “Don’t give advice unless asked for it.”

I don't think its hygienic. The grand mum has not breast fed for several years, the nipples will definitely be carrying hidden dirt particles.
4 your mind nah only these old women village be grandma?

Some grandmas dey clean pass you tbh.

I dont think women produce milk all year round , if they do , bobos for no dey tire ... I think its ok @ least it will prevent the child from sucking fingers.

Tell him dear.
I remember sucking the highly nutritious own of ma granny and also ma late younger sis taking part in the feast, and it was like one great holy communion. Even now, if i want some, she'd gladly give me some. lolx.
Btw, if she don't take care of us(when our mum is nt available), who will?
wow I so much envy you. The good thing about my own story is that my maternal grandma,my mum and me have the same shape of niipples and boobs. Lolz! Even after breastfeeding,our boobs still stood firm.

The way issues are raised these days is very pathetic. I sucked my grandmum breast until i was 8 and look at me today, health and hearty. Many people actually did this and there've been no negative effect on them. What do we think today is wrong with that?
hahahahaha, you sucked till you were 8? hmmmmm, that may explain you randiness , hahahahaha grin

Actually nothing comes out. It's just for the child to fiddle on something...which eventually puts him to sleep. That's what my grand ma told me

You have satisfied my curiosity, i was wondering how a grand mother could produce breast milk. Ladies in the house, can a woman produce breast milk even if she has not recently put to bed?

The question u shld ask is if there is still milk in the grandmum's breast??

I was watching a programme on TVC and a topic was been discussed about grandmums breastfeeding their grandchildren especially when the mother of the babies are not around.

Mothers,can you allow your mother breastfeed your baby in your absence?

I'm a bit ignorant on these matters, as I've never encountered any milk while 'addressing' a woman's breasts when she has not recently given birth to a baby. How did these grandmothers miraculously produce bre ast milk? Were they also nursing when their daughters gave birth?

It would make sense to hear that the mothers pumped some breast milk for later use and the grandmothers fed the babies that milk.

This may the reason why some babies bite their mother's bre asts in protest.

Are you sure? Care to post pikishurs so that we can see your boobs and do necessary assessment. cool
Re: Grandmothers Breastfeeding Their Grandchildren: Right Or Wrong? by Nobody: 3:15pm On Dec 17, 2014
it depends on the conditions leading to that ...
1: if the mother is HIV positive
2: if the mother is demise
3: if the mother is under any serious medical condition resulting to coma (at the extreme)
4: surgical conditions such as bilateral mastectomy (removal of both breast) .

under the above mentioned, its ok.

the bold part still gets me confused. I have been hearing stories of such but have never seen it happen. Maybe gynaecologists in the house can explain to us how true it is and how it happens.

I wouldn't support it. However, it's a fruiless excercise as no break milk will come out from it. I heard someone calling it a placebo undecided it is a big NO to me.
Re: Grandmothers Breastfeeding Their Grandchildren: Right Or Wrong? by oginga: 3:18pm On Dec 17, 2014

OP, shey water still dey the grandma's b reast ni?
