He even offered money as a thank you but I declined shocked

Yes it is very possible! even our great grand mothers did it to assist their co - wives that went to the market , not disposed at the moment or even in the case of death. But civilization has made it look unacceptable because of certain diseases and ailments which could be contracted by child from the breastfeeding woman.

A good mother will breast feed another child especially where the mum passed away

It gives the woman sense of fulfillment that you didn't allow a motherless child to die of hunger

Pls one more thing, start introducing formula for the baby even as you help to breast feed the child

So a woman who refused to breastfeed a child that is not hers is a bad mother?

Have you ever seen or heard of a newborn that died of hunger or lack of breast milk?

A newborn is after suckling what will give it food, a newborn cannot differentiate between breast milk or formula because it does not know the difference, no matter how long it cries, it will suckle whatever is given to it as milk,

At op, what you did isn't bad, but I can't do it.

If you read well and understand the content of what you read is about breast feeding a motherless child by another breast feeding woman, who is willing to help another child

That is quite different from a ew born mum who doesn't wants to breast feed her own child

There are two different things here

What are you saying exactly? Who is talking about a mum who doesnt want to breastfeed her child?

Help or no help, whether the mother of the baby died or not, a woman who refuses to breastfeed a child that is not hers, is not a bad mother, that's the point.

Maybe not me but I believe women are equipped with the capability to begin lactating when a baby that is not even theirs is in need. So why not. grin

At the bolded, you are absolutely right. It all about choice. However, it's a great gesture if any woman offers to do such but that doesn't make the ones that decline to offer the help as bad mother. Most times, the circumstance determines it.

Proud of you! cool

I've never seen someone done that before. Most times, I used to wonder how children in such situation gets to feed.

Does it have any negative effect on the kids? I mean, being breastfeed by another woman.

Re: Can You Breastfeed A Baby That's Not Yours? by Hayastark: 8:06am On Oct 02, 2021
This shouldn't be a big deal, inFact in most civilize countries like England and US even kanya and india there is a breast milk bank where mothers who are over lactating can give breast milk for storage so that mothers who are having difficulty breastfeeding or in situation like this one can go and collect. Nigeria nursing mothers should try and inculcate this for unlucky babies, breast milk has the highest nutrition for babies.

Re: Can You Breastfeed A Baby That's Not Yours? by crackhaus: 7:31pm On Oct 02, 2021
If ladies can offer their breast to different guys for them to suck at various points in their lives, I see no reason why they should have any problem helping an innocent baby with that same breast.

I can if I have milk in the boobs....presently, they are just mould of fresh.

Well done mama....may God bless your good heart. The poor baby shouldnt have to go hungry because his/her mama passed. By the way, please offer to help introduce other foods to him too....that will greatly help him as you cant always be his wet nurse no matter how willing your heart is. Thank you.
