Mother Faces Judgment After Revealing Grandma Steps In To Help Breastfeed Baby

The bond created by this method of feeding is so special, and often comforts both the mother and the child.

Not only that, but the health benefits for the child are unmatched.

Many women who over-produce milk share theirs with other mothers who can't produce enough for themselves. But is the same idea appropriate when that person is family?

Julia Cannon, a 22-year-old nurse, and Angela Owns, her 47-year-old mother, breastfeed Julia's 10-month-old daughter Naomi.

Julia, a bid advocate of breastfeeding, says it all started with Naomi was just four months old.

"She would cluster feed all the time," she told The Sun.

"It was like a comfort thing. One day I really wanted to have a shower and to get out of the house so I headed over to my mother's. I was in the shower and she needed a feed."

"My mom had already asked me how I would feel about her breastfeeding Naomi," she said. She had said she'd be fine with it, but up until that point, they hadn't tried it.

"She still produces milk and we knew she still produces."

"She's an over-producer. She's been checked for any problems and had cat-scans done but there are no health problems."

"It was extremely empowering as a woman to know my mom was feeding my daughter from the same breast milk that fed me for years," Julia told PopSugar. "It was magical and made me feel so good!"

"People say it's weird, unnatural, and gross," she told [The Sun]((https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/8758688/i-breastfeed-my-10-month-old-daughter-and-so-does-my-mum/).

"It's how we all started out. Wet-nursing has been around since the beginning of time."

"She likes to do it," said Juila. "We weren't sure if Naomi would latch on but she did immediately."

She explained that the whole thing has been a huge convenience for her, allowing for things most moms miss out on, "I can sleep and get something to eat."
