Cross-Nursing on Good Morning America
May 25th, 2010 | by nursing |isarma42 asked:
Feel free to comment here: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Parenting/story?id=5459697&page=1 Morgan and I were asked to do an interview on cross-nursing. It was taped last month and aired on July 28th. We’re both generally happy with how it turned out. You said you wanted more videos of Bastian, right? Well, there he is:) Donovan’s there and looking adorable, too!

Good Job mamas! When my son had a nursing strike my friend offered to let me nurse her baby to help me express my milk out (I am prone to plugged ducts and mastitis). I ended up not needing to do that, but was honored she offered and FULLY support cross-nursing. GMA did a good job handling this topic… mainstream media doesn’t always take to this stuff well.

If you watched the whole video, I believe they mentioned that Bastian won’t take a bottle. I also have never really pumped effectively, so that wasn’t an option. I am very lucky to have such a friend who I trust completely. It’s obviously not the sort of thing to do casually.

nice choice for those who accept the idea, but in my opinion my ****** my baby… theres alot of ways to keep ****** milk in the frig for your baby. it last up to a year!!! what about all the disease someone could pass on to a baby thru breastfeeding? let see, HIV been the most dangerous one that comes to mind, sorry in my case my baby is my responsability and that includes breasfeeding.
but good luck to those who welcome the idea.

2:15-2:25, wow, Sarah. You are one fine/pretty lady. Sweet sounding voice, great personality, beautiful/sexy as all get out body (per the other videos, obviously!-lol) and evidently UNinhibited. Quite a woman.

Actually, wetnursing is listed above EBM and is more ideal for the baby. Direct breastfeeding has many benefits that bottlefeeding breastmilk cannot.
Anecdotal examples don’t negate the mountains of research on the dangers of formula feeding. You’re simply demonstrating that you don’t understand the science behind it. Just because every child who’s fed formula isn’t sick doesn’t mean it doesn’t increase the chances of being sick.
You say that, but based on your comments, it’s insincere.

I certainly support cross-nursing on a more regular basis if Mom’s not available 24/7, as does the World Health Organization. Wetnursing is considered the #2 way to feed a baby, right behind breastfeeding from Mom.
It must be nice to live in a world where your choices are always so clear. I certainly agree that’s easiest and best for everyone, biologically speaking, but I would make the kind of statements you make. You’d talk working Moms out of breastfeeding.

Some mums have to work but if they want their child to have ****** milk, they should at a very young age get the child used to a bottle so expressed milk can be given too. I’ve seen it done by friends & family et al.
Also a boy I once baby sat for was bottle fed exclusively. He’s now 19, the picture of good health and is at Cambridge Medical School and is top of his class. For all the difference ****** feeding makes anyway?!
Anyway to each her own! Take care and Happy New Year! x

The video gives the impression that it is alot more than 3 times & your other written comments on this page give the impression that you fully support it being a regular thing. I wasn’t having a go at you personally you know! My comments were meant in the general sense.
Regarding working mums: well they can’t have it both ways. They want to ****** feed or they dont: it wont work with a job. I make no apologies for saying a young unweaned baby’s mother should be there to feed it.

Wow, so all working moms are doing it wrong? Nice judgment! I’m not a working mom, though they said so in the report, probably because it was more interesting. I had to have emergency dental surgery. I was in extreme pain. It took 4 or 5 hours for each one and I had 3 appointments. So yeah, it wasn’t “optional”.

Well it isn’t better than formula if the mum can’t be 100% sure what the wet nurse is eating drinking or what sort of infection the child will be exposed to. It’s not always possible to be 100% sure.
Also mum SHOULD be available for a young baby. If a woman is nursing a child then she should be there with the baby to feed it. She shouldn’t leave it so young in the first place. What is the point in having a baby just to leave it so young.
To each their own though. He looks a lovely baby!

I’m sure that cross nursing has its pro’s and its con’s. With that said, I don’t think I would be able to let another woman nurse my child. To each her own. I am very glad that you are so open about it, as I get so tired of hearing about the squemish people who think it is wrong to nurse in public or anything of the like. I would like to say congrats on having a wonderful baby, and finding something that works for you.
Take care…

While the mother’s milk is ideal, it’s certainly worlds better than formula if Mom isn’t available.

Well to each their own but I wouldn’t do it. Every womans milk is different and it’s made by your body for your baby and no-one elses. Not to mention the risk of infection.
