She has an infant, which was one reason she felt so drawn to help where she could for the baby

"you realize I have a gun, right."

The hospital workers at the time were calling the baby gross and dirty, she was probably responding to that tbh

It makes it easier for the baby to latch on. It also makes sure the baby isn't smothered by your breast. It can happen.

Get the fuck out

Ppl like @pilly are the reason that breastfeeding gets sexualized and demonized by society. Thanks for being part of the problem.

Yes, uncalled for. Not needed, but getting offended by every little thing regardless of actual facts is the reason everyone is a dainty little pussy that can't be told they're wrong. If you sexualize and demonize breastfeeding, you're literally mentally challenged. If you get offended easily, especially over a comment from a total stranger online, you also are mentally challenged. Get help, you're all apart of what's wrong with society.

Agree 100%.

How and why? Women have done it for as long as there has been recorded history. Have you never heard the term "wet nurse", its literally exactly that, a lactating woman who breastfeeds a child not hers. Aside from that, she did it with the hospitals approval.

I'd say a small infection is less dangerous than malnutrition.

But it's not a risk of infection, at least no more than with biological mother and child.
