Milk for Sale
We went out last Wednesday. A group of well - mothers.
The dinner was supposed to be at 7.30pm but thanks to the Guiness Record of queue at the petrol stations on last Wednesday, my poor friends were stuck badly in the traffic for more than an hour. Nonetheless, we made it for the night and we had wonderful Japanese food at Hartamas Shopping Centre ( strongly recommended - Rakuzen ).
We were, well chatting about our kids mainly and then we proceeded to nursing and milking the child. Then one of the girls mentioning that her gynae was telling her that there is 'mother's milk' for sale in the market. She was all offended by the gynae. We all feel a bit odd and yucky too when she mentioned that. Yeah, having your child drinking another woman's milk?
But after a deep thought of that, ...actually, if we can take cow's milk (imagine putting your child to milk together with the baby cows, yucky enough right?), why not human's milk? We all know that mother's milk is the best.
I had come to know of a few friends who kept saying that
'I don't have a drop!'
'I tried, but only so little, my child does not have enough!'
'I don't have the time and energy to pump, I am so tired. I need to work ler!'
Also, what about those that suffer serious post-natal depression?
So, I thought, if the source is trustworthy (non alcoholic, non smoker etc) and they have abundant to give away or share...for the sake of the baby, I would say YES! I am a breastfeeding mother, I know the great benefit of breast milk to the new born.
Recently, I read about a Chinese woman in Sichuan, China who actually breast fed(yes, she was shown carrying 2 babies to her breasts and a few more waiting to be fed!) a few babies. These babies might have lost their mothers during the earthquake. She left her baby at home for her parents to take care while she breast fed the hungry ones with the best food - mother's milk. I absolutely admire her decision and determination. She is a true mother for her love and grace shine!!
So, no more 'yucks' and 'disgust', right?! So to mothers that kept complaining that their milk factory is not working, check out for the sale of 'Breast milk' for a change! A good change, in fact.
