I came home and found my sister breastfeeding my son — I called the cops

Simone* and her sister Phoebe* had babies within two weeks of each other.

Their sons are now three and five weeks old and Phoebe’s baby is breastfed while Simone’s isn’t.

Recently, Simone needed surgery and because her son’s father isn’t around, Phoebe and her husband offered to babysit while she was in the hospital.

But while she was away for those three days, her sister decided to take baby-feeding matters into her own hands…

“When I came home, I walked into my son on my sister’s breast,” Simone explained to a forum.

“I called the police but there was nothing they could do”

Simone admitted she “didn’t have an issue with the situation to begin with” as “it was probably easier to breastfeed him than make bottles” but what her sister told her next left Simone completely speechless.

“She said she had thrown out all the ‘garbage’ I was feeding him and she was going to pump and donate milk to him.”

While Simone was in the hospital, Phoebe was breastfeeding her child.

The mom didn’t react straight away but instead, went into the bathroom and called the police, only to find out what her sister did wasn’t a crime.

“Apparently, the child is being fed so they couldn’t do anything about it,” she explained.

When Phoebe learnt what Simone did, she blew up at her and told her she was “just trying to help.”

But Simone wasn’t buying it and told her sister: “You dumped 14 cans of formula without even consulting me and currently have nothing to replace it with, just plans to.”

Phoebe ended up storming out and blocking Simone on everything.

Because Phoebe doesn't believe in formula, she threw out canisters that Simone had bought.

The mom concluded: “Our parents were able to replace two of the cans she threw out but can’t do much else. They also think I was a d**k for calling the police on her because getting a record could affect her government job and therefore my nephew.”

Simone emphasized that her sister was staunchly against formula feeding so wouldn’t have replaced them herself. “The only way she could have been feeding my son over the next few weeks would be to put him on the boob, which would take time away from me,” she concluded.

“I would have done the same thing in your situation”

After sharing her story, the forum rallied around the mom and assured her that she wasn’t in the wrong.

One commenter noted, “She just literally dumped hundreds of dollars of formula that YOU BOUGHT because of her own personal opinions on formula.”

“I would have done the same thing, in your situation.”

A second wrote: “How is that not a crime? It’s straightforward theft. Why did the police do nothing?”

And a third said: “My heart is legit hurting. Even before the formula crisis, 14 CANS of formula were expensive as hell. I would be ready to commit some crimes over this situation.”

Meanwhile, another user remarked: “She owes you for the 14 cans of formula that she stole and threw away. She can disagree with you all she wants, but theft is theft – and now that she’s blocked you everywhere, she’s leaving your child to go hungry.” They then suggested she goes to small claims court.

“This relationship is already f**d. I’d definitely take her to court,” a different user echoed. “Time to find a backup plan for childcare, as you obviously can’t use your sister anymore.”

Then finally, this person commented, “NTA. She destroyed $140+ worth of formula and endangered your ability to feed your child. Also, a lot of places consider breastfeeding a child that is not your own without the permission of the parents a form of battery, regardless of what that one cop said.”

What do you think?

Very funny. I really can't say but I don't think it's proper to breastfeed another woman's baby without her approval.

Na wa...

But why? If the phoebe of a sister doesn't believe in formula for babies, must she throw them away? And they aren't cheap. That's what's vexing her not even the breastfeeding.

Throwing tins of baby formula away and breastfeeding the baby without the birth mother's permission is so very wrong and not safe because of chances of infection, reason they have to thoroughly screen women before donating breast milk.

You can't just do things without asking permission because the days are dangerous and be rest assured that u will blamed when things go sour'' humans don't care whether u was rendering help or not. Everybody need to respect and use their heads well in this life if not u create unnecessary damage to ur self or to others.

Very bad from her.

She was probably hornyand wanted her boobs sucked as most women love it when their boobs are sucked so she had to use the innocent baby ..


This is not right at all

She did no wrong in feeding the child owing to her belief and she didn't strictly inform her sister not to breastfeed her son...
But throwing those formula away was so very wrong...
She should have left them till the sister returns back.
And tell her you know I don't believe in formula but now u r back...u can continue feeding ur child formula...
If na me..... she will buy back those formula..
Cos I didn't get em free from the store.

You know breastfeeding can most times be painful, right? I’ve seen some mother’s nipples fall off due to the constant breastfeeding by their babies.

your brain dey work so?

The mouth of a baby sucking out milk from the nipples is it the same as a man sucking the nipples for sexual purpose? What sexual gratification does a woman want to derive from a baby sucking her nipples?

Even a woman who just had her baby still feels pain on her nipples when the baby is sucking and the baby sometimes bites the nipples of the mother in a painful way so which one come be "as most women love it"

Them suppose watch you very well when them leave pikin be with you
