Thank you for sharing this story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-misfortune-was-someone-elses-fortune#post-362996 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 12:49:01 +0000 junebugmama 362996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Milk sharing has been a common practice forever, as formula did not always exist, it was necessary for some Mother's to use other Mother's milk to sustain the life of their child. </p> <p>Obviously, there are some risks, such as if the Mother who donates is a drug addict, has an disease, or maybe drank before pumping. However, people who are irresponsible are usually not the people donating milk or even breastfeeding for that matter. There has to be a form of trust in that other Mom. Remember though wet nurses were a common practice even through the 70's. There are lots of milk sharing sites and fb pages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-misfortune-was-someone-elses-fortune#post-362636 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:07:58 +0000 matador84 362636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a sweet story!

She NEEDS a break. </p> <p>She friended me on fb when she got home. Her newest post reads,<br /> "Thank you to the amazing woman who has given Joe (husband) and I the gift of dinner alone this Saturday. Between bed rest and the babies we haven't been anywhere alone together since February. I may even let him grab my butt!" </p> <p>Love it &lt;3 </p>
