The nurses, nurses or breeders they are the women who for centuries breastfed those babies whose mothers did not want or could not feed. In the last century, with the arrival of artificial milk, this practice has become obsolete in the West, although there are women who are trying to rescue it.
One of them is Lacey Dangerstone, a 27-year-old woman, a native of Fort Worh, in Texas, who has started a worldwide campaign to help and inform women who want to be nurses, explaining their experience: has breastfed 12 babies, in addition to her daughters, for what their mothers could return to work quietly.
The first time he did it
Lacey was already Luna's mother, her 4-month-old baby, to whom she was breastfeeding. His production was more than excellent, and he agreed that some friends of his sister had to make a weekend trip in which they had to leave their 9-month-old baby in charge of someone. She spoke with the sister, and suggested that if necessary she could breastfeed, to which they answered yes, that they were delighted with the idea.
What they did that weekend, to make the baby more comfortable, was to move everyone (her, Eric, her husband, and Luna) to the couple's house. The mother left her milk removed just in case, in case the child did not want the breast or if she did not feel comfortable finally, but there was no problem about it. As we read in DailyMail:
Breastfeeding was the most natural and comfortable for me. I was a little scared to feed a baby with teeth, but first I fed Luna and then fed the other baby, and it was a very natural feeding experience.
She was also fed by a nurse
It did not seem strange, or anything objectionable, because he has always known that when she was a child she was fed by another mother. Her mother had to go back to work and hired a babysitter who was breastfeeding her own baby, who offered to feed little Lacey as well. She grew up knowing what the nurses were, that there were mothers who helped others feed the babies, and that's why it has never seemed like a taboo subject.
Her partner agrees on the decision she makes about it and from friends she has received disparate opinions, from those who tell her that it is great, to those who tell her that it is disgusting, going through those who do not, It doesn't come to them either.
And so he began to care and feed more and more babies
From that moment, he began to take care of other babies whose mothers began to work, offering among their services, if the mother wanted, the one who could breastfeed him. They were usually mothers who were already looking for her for that reason, because they needed to return to work but did not want their baby to miss the experience of breastfeeding, of drinking human milk.
She did it even when she became pregnant with Vega, her second daughter, in 2014. The girl was born and was seen doing tandem with her baby and with a few more children. Total has breastfed 12 children beyond their daughters, among which are his nephews, children of friends and children of friends of friends.
Babies who are breastfed by several mothers
She also explains that the complicity between her and the children, and with other mothers, has reached a point where two or more mothers get together with several babies and simply breastfeed the one who needs it. If one is busy with something, another takes the baby who needs a breast, even if it is not her child.
Explaining his story to help other mothers be breeding
Now Lacey has decided to share her story, how she has fed several babies, how those babies then suck from their mothers' breast without problems, and how they are clear who is a mother, and who is not, in order to create a worldwide network of mothers who want to be nurses or nurses, to be available for those women in the area who have to leave their children in someone's care and want them to continue receiving breast milk.
He is aware of the controversy that this will generate, but considers it so normal and so natural, that he firmly believes that it is another option for mothers, another solution, an alternative for another woman to give love and food in the absence of her mother, and that's why you're sharing this experience online.
But can this not transmit diseases?
Yes it is. The Breastfeeding can be a woman's disease transmitter to the breastfeeding baby, so if done, the ideal is that there is a climate of trust and a knowledge that the woman has a good state of health. If we talk about a sister or a friend, surely you will not ask for a document that shows that you do not have any disease that can be transmitted to your baby, but if we talk about a caretaker you hire for that reason, well yes, because although in In reality there are very few situations in which it would not be recommended that a woman breastfeed, it is not enough to have Complete trust On it.
In any case, it is still a formality in relation to an act that seems precious to me. I think of babies, breastfed, accompanying other babies by their side, also sucking, and I don't see a better relationship principle ... they become milk brothers, in partners, and surely they create a special bond between them and their caregiver, one of those who help children grow with love, love and happiness.
