I'm sorry but this post is not intended to judge someone or any organization's mission for that matter. I've been wanting to post about this for the longest time pero i keep on forgetting. Anyway, I saw on the news last week about a celebrity who is a new mom and since she's going back to work, she'd had to lose all the post-pregnancy fats and underwent an operation. She also had a bust reduction which eventually led to her not being able to breastfeed her baby anymore. I'm okay with that since she had her reasons but one thing i was not comfortable when i saw the interview was that she had a breastfeeding advocate who will donate breastmilk for her baby. i mean, my first reaction was, "There are more babies in need of breastmilk than her baby?!" Her reasons for the bust reduction was medical reasons but hey, being an advocate, i think it's more important to look into the welfare of those who are in need more than you are. and if the donated breastmilk will be given to other babies whose mothers really ran out of milk or those who are in need of appropriate nutrients, then the world will be a much happier place.
There are only a few breastfeeding advocates here in the country and there are a lot of babies in need of breastmilk. I think it would have been much nicer if she just did'nt accept a donor.
Just my two cents worth.
