It seems it's growing in popularity the practice of having someone else nurse your baby. I breastfed all of my children and many friends children.When my 26 yo son was born we happen to have alot of friends with small children that breastfed.It was nice because I could drop my baby off with whoever was covering that day and do my errands quickly without a small baby with me.I would cover days for others.Most often there was more then one mom at the cover house because we often got together to do crafts,or redo someone's kitchen or paint a room whatever...We had a wonderful crafty group of mom's.. When my youngest daughter came along 7 months later my oldest daughter had my first grandchild.I breastfed her and my daughter breastfed her baby sister which formed a bond and made it easier for each of us to get groceries etc. But now the rich are paying women $1000+ a week to breastfeed their babies.Is this a good thing or bad thing? I wonder about the babies of these woman?Is it a way to exploite poor women? One woman states she had nursed 40+ babies and she is a young woman.... Your thoughts?

That's the one of the saddest thing i vil ever do to get my baby fed with someone else's milk, I would like to feed the baby with her own mms milk of if the mom is not there then feed her with a feeder.

im not in favor of letting my baby be breasfeeded by someone , i want her to feed myself, i cant comment on young mothers who breasfeed others for a fee,maybe they got some reasons, a very reasonable one.
