  Angela, Cross-breastfeeding is not uncommon in my community and is certainly not a big deal in my family where possibilities of marriage between the babies who are being nursed is not contemplated in future. I have regularly cross-nursed two babies of my co-wife and she did my three babies. I have also occasionally cross nursed babies of my two close friends, The point I wpould like to emphasize is that it is not always in emergency situations or “need” that cross nursing always takes place. I have also been doing it out of love and sentiments for my friends on a natural reciprocal basis. We have hardly come across problems like nipple confusion or refusal. When the babies are hungry with a little effort they settle down to nursing. Some problems might arise, however, if one is unfamiliar to babies who are above the age of a year or so.
  One is welcome to correspond with me on a personal basis, for details etc.

  A national parenting magazine and a national morning show are teaming up on a story about cross-nursing that will air later this month, and they’re looking for moms who would be interested in sharing their experiences on camera. If you are currently cross-nursing – breastfeeding a friend’s or relative’s baby – please email ttfmwcn@gmail.com with a short description of your cross-nursing experiences and a phone number where you can be reached by the producer of the segment. No travel would be required for the interview – a camera crew would visit your home to tape the piece.
