Re: What's your opinion about an adolescent girl girl breastfeed a baby form
it doees seem wierd...i guess i could see if she was sitting the baby, maybe not given true instructions, knows mom feeds baby like that...crap could be she has no idea what it means(the milk/breastfeed) thing...just that when baby cries his mom does it? i think i'd be shocked if my sister tried to breastfeed my child(she's 13, and knows what it is)...but i wouldnt dare browbeat her for it.....just reiterate what she knows already.....but then again ask yourself(and yes this IS age-difference), but do any of us freak out when our younger daughters(i dont have one, but i mean 3-8/9 yrs old) walk around holding a baby doll to their breast? of course not...they are curious, and since they see mom/relatives do it, it's ok to them, in their little world their "baby" is crying, feed him lol......
i'd talk to HER first, IF this is a "hand that rocks the cradle" possibility, and she does not stop, esp does it behind others backs, it could be the start of severe issues...
don't beat me for saying this, but if she were a little older, the wrong person would actually call that indecency with a child, by a child.....in saying that, i mean that your "girl" is fully aware of the fact that the childs mother is the ONLY ONE who should b/f, and that what she is doing is wrong but continues nonetheless
