[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to laugh at the PP who wants to bring back wet nurses. Throughout history we have had wet nurses but these wet nurses never came from the upper class. Saying you want to bring back wet nurses is not a good look OP. What I also think is hilarious in Middle Eastern countries (where I am from), we have the concept of milk siblings where women breastfeed each others children (helps with supply). The mother who then breastfeeds another person's child becomes their milk mother and children who are breastfed from the same women are milk siblings. Women in the Middle East do this for various reasons but these reasons are mostly practical - for example they need a break from their baby for one reason or another. The practice is far less common now because of the existence of formula but it still exists.  Now La Leche League discourages this. Why is that? It's because basically La Leche League is an ideological organization who seems to want to make breastfeeding as difficult as possible on women. Thank goodness they are becoming less and less popular. I breastfed my kids because I could. I worked hard on producing milk with my first and had to combo feed but with my second and third I only combo fed in the beginning. That being said I find organizations like La Leche League absolutely disgusting and racist (if they weren't racist they wouldn't be criticizing practices that are normal in other countries) and are not harmful.[/quote]

Sorry I meant to say "not a good look PP." OP never mentioned wet nurses. Sorry OP didn't mean you![/quote]
