Posted to Mama Bean Parenting in honor of World Breastfeeding Week, Jessica Anne Colletti shared the story of how her good friend was unable to pump for her boy, due to work and issues he was having taking to formula. So, Colletti writes, she started breastfeeding the boy while she was babysitting him while mom was at work. Colletti was already nursing her own child and says feeding the boys has created a special bond between them.
The posting went viral and has stirred some debate. However, Mama Bean Parenting points out wet-nursing is considered the second-best alternative for breastfeeding your child.

Wet nursing has been around for as long as breasts and hungry babies. Get over it.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm hungry too!
ReplyDeleteMe three.
ReplyDeleteIf the other mother us ok with it, why does everyone else have to be?
ReplyDeleteI nursed all three of my children until they were one. I did it because it was best for them. From the look on the mothers face in this picture it is all about HER. The children are accessories so she can show off.

DeleteWrong. I got to know Jessie pretty well a long time ago and she was a total flower child, she was a sweet caring girl back then I highly doubt she changed her ways. This story sounds just like her, she's a REAL nurturing mother/friend and wouldn't be ignorant passing judgement on someone she doesn't know like yourself.
Holy chit I hooked up with Jessie in Rehoboth about 15-17 years ago that's crazy. Her last name back then was Caluzzo or Canuzzo something Italian sounding along those lines. I was actually after her friend courtney but Courtney had a bf and was kind of stuck up. Once I realized that wasn't happening I switched gears to Jessie lol. Shes actually a really cool down to earth chick so this story doesn't surprise me.
ReplyDeleteYeah I banged her too! Crazy man
DeleteSo did I!!!
DeleteI remember going to the Big Pine Key Florida flea market in the late 70's and early 80's where I saw one of the weekly vendors commonly nursing her 7 year old son there. Real Earth Mother.
ReplyDeleteIck!
Good grief how old are you man!
DeleteMaybe started out a nice gesture, but it's time to end it before it becomes an issue. They are old enough to climb on and suck, time to wean then.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting
ReplyDeleteIs she a teacher?
ReplyDeleteWhat's disgusting about it?
ReplyDeleteThere is sbsolutely nothing wrong with breastfeeding. But in public it is disgusting.
DeleteSome people will do anything for attention....she is exploiting those two young boys (they are NOT infants) for her own self satisfaction. There's no cause here, other than her perversion. She's more than just a little perverted to be breast feeding little walking, talking boys who are capable of eating solid foods and should be weaned by now. Not only that, she is doing it with someone else's child, as well (and posting it on the internet). No doubt she gets some kind of "satisfaction" from doing this. A pediatrician would advise that those two children are too old for both formula and breast milk.
ReplyDeleteI will watch her do this all day. Stop haten
