It has nothing to do with hygiene miss...

After all she bathes daily and she'll clean the tip if she wants to brèast feed
it's not about bathing daily, find out, expecting mothers are advised to use cotton wool and olive oil to thoroughly clean the nipple before breast feeding, I bet a grandma would not do that

But hygiene is not really the case here.

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?
its very, very wrong, please don't allow such.

but she baths everyday and washes her nipples. I don't think the reason for grandmums not to breast their grandchildren is due to hygiene. She can always clean the nipples if she wants to breastfeed.

I wanna know how possible it is for breastmilk to flow despite not breastfeeding for a long time.
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.

The second point is the real issue. I was taught that breast milk starts flowing at a point in the pregnancy trimester and stops when the woman has weaned and after a short time thereafter. Or is the grandma knacking another man and is also preggy?

He he he he. I remembered the day my MIL said she wanted to wash her breast and breastfeed my daughter. I smiled sinisterly. I told her son when he got back from work that he should warn his mother not to try it o. Which kain thing be that! What do you expect?

From her past behaviour and attitude, it is as if I don't exist as the mother of the child. She wants to be the one to cut her first hair, do the naming ceremony, etc. So as soon as she made that suggestion, I drummed it into her son's ears that he should tell his mother not to try it.

Olorun ko ni je ki eni eleni gba ise mi se lori omo mi. Amin. Someone can help to interpret
*clears throat* she said God will not allow person eat d fruit of her labour on her kids.......

Milk no dey comeout.
Its just a comfort thing for d baby, just like a pacifier.
]Suckling can initiate lactation in nonpregnant women. This has been seen most often in women of childbearing age but also has been observed in older persons. A baby who had lost his mother was suckled by his 60-year-old grandmother, who had borne her last child 18 years before. The grandmother produced milk after a few days and continued to nurse the baby until he was a year old and could walk.

At topic, I don't think I can, not because I think it is bad but my OCD won't allow any of that. Maybe if I genuinely can't do it....There is formula sha.
Re: Grandmothers Breastfeeding Their Grandchildren: Right Or Wrong? by chupcake(m): 2:03pm On Dec 17, 2014
I remember the discussion I had with my mom on this issue. She being a nurse has seen it before. She told me a story of how the mother of the baby died during childbirth and the mother of the baby daddy was the one taking care of the baby. Momsy advised her to breastfeed the baby and that if he sucks on it for some time, she would lactate. After a week, she complained of colour of the milk, she told her those are antibodies that are very beneficial to the baby. She gave the baby her breast for more than 2yrs and he is as healthy as any child can be.

provided that milk is still flowing through it,there is nothing wrong with it.

Seriously? I don't think so. I think granny's breastmilk is also rich in nutrients. You know,the older the richer. grin grin
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?

Grandmother breast - feed grand child? With which breast milk na? Sometimes una dey ask mumu questionz.

berem:
sometimes,strangers are allowed to especially in hospitals. If the woman is certifed disease free,why not?
I would feel queasy about it. As for my mum or MIL, they breastfed me and my husband so no issue with them breastfeeding my kids. Milk in the breast never goes bad.

Grandma milk is sweeter and more nutritional

GRAND MOTHERS EAT NATURAL FOOD AND VAGETABLES.THEIR MILK IS NUTRITIONAL.


MODERN GIRLS EAT SUGER,MILO,INDOMIE,ONGA AND COKE.
Grandma food could be tasty, while I can not say if her breäst milk also is, I won't permit even my mother to breäst feed my child.

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
Exactly, my children sucked grandma's breast too. It makes dem sleep off easily in spite of that they use it as comfort for their hitching gum. I only need to know from doctors in the house if it is possible for grandmas to still be lactating at dat old age.

Re: Grandmothers Breastfeeding Their Grandchildren: Right Or Wrong? by Nobody: 2:20pm On Dec 17, 2014
We the bassa speaking people of kogi state usually give out herbs to granny or a closer relation if there is a new born baby in the family be it nuclear or extended..
Women who were given such herbs have their bosom filled up within a week..
We do that in case of death or sickness of the child's mother..
My cousin drank breast milk from our granny..i must confess he has a sharp super duper brain of a PROF..
I see nothing wrong..
