On a random Friday night, Rebecca Wanosik received a text message that was completely unexpected. It was from a friend asking if she would consider nursing a stranger's baby [1].

While some might pause at such an unusual request, Rebecca immediately agreed. The baby's mom was having surgery, and not only is that child exclusively breastfed [2], but Rebecca also learned that the little one refused a bottle. "When the baby arrived you could tell she was hungry and exhausted and just needed some milk," Rebecca shared with Breastfeeding Mama Talk's Facebook page. "I did what I hope any person would do for my child in a time of despair."

For Rebecca, the most surprising thing about this situation wasn't that she found herself nursing someone else's child [3] alongside her own; it was other's reactions and claims that what she was doing was unnatural or weird. "They are boobs; they are meant to feed babies. Also, in case anyone forgot, they are mine, so I'm fairly certain I choose what happens with them," Rebecca wrote. "Regardless, I took an amazing photo tandem nursing these two babies together, and it shows that hungry babies don't care; they just need to be fed."
