She's awesome.

I can't quite explain it but watching this makes me feel as if breastfeeding a poverty-stricken African child is a far nobler act than adopting. Weird, huh?

She should be Sainted (or whatever it's called) for that.

I'm seriously considering if I, living in Western decadence and comfort, would trade places with that sick baby in Africa.

Hmmmm....

She questioned whether her child would mind her giving away some of her milk to the other baby, to which I would say her one year old would reply 'God no... have you seen the size of those things? My mum could feed the entire village and there'd still be some left for me... have at it mum... have at it.'


But also... she's got great comfort in her body and self as a woman.

Damn blankfist, you beat me to it.

hmm more exciting then www.kiva.org

shes terribly amazing.

That's beautiful. Really.

Thank you so much, now we are saved - we have banana bread.

It's very satisfying to nurse a baby in need. I helped a friend out once whose baby needed to nurse when my friend couldn't do it herself right at that moment (why, is another story). I remember worrying that her baby would be too weirded out by strange breasts, to relax and feed, but she latched on and sucked away until she fell asleep. It was beautiful. I also worried that my own child who was present at the time would get jealous, but she didn't act so. It was like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Then not long after that, another friend cared for my child for a few hours, to let me get some rest and while she did so, my daughter wanted to nurse and climbed into her lap and nursed, again, like it was the most natural thing ever and she had never done that with anyone else before.

That experience led me to feel that breasts are meant for sharing and not just within single households. They are probably designed more as public amenities and when you think about that, if that's how we used them, it would mean that we would have enhanced immunity, because when nipples come into contact with the bacteria present in a mouth, the breast immediately responds by producing the anti-bodies required, in the milk. If we shared boobies we'd be covered for a wider selection of germs.
