Wet Nursing

Last night I was out at dinner with friends, nursing Young Sir, when my friend’s baby also got hungry. She had some problems nursing him when he was born, so she’s been supplementing while working on rebuilding her supply. I’d donated milk to her before, so I offered to nurse him directly and she let me. I’ve donated, but never tandem nursed before and never nursed a baby that wasn’t mine. It was a super cool experience!

Young Sir is on my right (mostly asleep) and the other baby is on my left. He spent the whole time watching his mom, as if to say, “This stuff is good, but I want to let you know I still love you.”
