I would never pay some to bf my child, even if I was mega rich,..would keep the $ to buy clothes, new boobs, a horse and carriage,......lol! And I wouldnt bf someones elses baby just cos they could afford to pay me.
But,..my sil and I have babies 6 months apart, and we said we would bf each others babies if something happened to one of us, like a major illness or accident or whatever.

One of the ladies I am on the July board on EBB has been expressing milk since she had her baby to feed a prem baby while the mothers milk comes in. I think it is an amazing thing to do. I would have no problem with it if it was expressed milk - on the breast is a little different.

Yeah I would express for someone else but not right on the boob it kinda creeps me out and I am very pro breastfeeding. I spose if it was a close friend and they really needed it, although that money would be nice. I think I would be scared the baby wouldn't latch properly and crack my nipples.

Jack had a cold so I expressed some milk for him. He tried to latch on the other day but just couldn't trust him not to bite me.

A question tho wouldn't the wet nurse have had to have a baby to have milk? So where would her baby be and partner (if she had one)?

It reminds me of when Jack was small, Ben wanted to take him round to his friends house. I said he would have to wait until after his next feed and ben said his friends gf (who had a baby) could do it. I said no.

I was thinking the same thing lst night Rach - what about the wet nurses baby? I know in the olden days they often used people who lost their babies in childbirth or early on, but I don't know thow they would work it these days.

You are able to esablish a supply without having a baby from drugs, like Dom Peridone, plus lots of regular pumping. I think there are other better drugs that they must give adoptive mums who want to feed. It can be done. Also, could be someone who has dtopped feedign but maintained her supply by pumping etc. Weird, those celebs..

Yep that's true. I know someone who adopted a newborn about 6 or 8 years after her youngest and she was able just to pump to get 'back into action'. Not sure how it works when you haven't already had a baby but it is still possible.

Gosh imagine if a wetnurse moved in to a celeb house with her already-made family... starting to sound like polygamy!

I don't think I could breastfeed someone else's bub, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't let someone else breastfeed mine, but like Annie I am 1000% for a breastmilk bank. They have them in Aussie and I think it is an awesome idea. I froze 6 litres of milk while I was expressing for the gremlins and when we discovered they couldn't tolerate it I had to pour it all down the drain, it was heartbreaking, especially when there was nothing wrong with it and so many other babies could have benefited from it.
As for celebs paying for wet nurses, give me a break! How ridiculous, the latest mod con *rolls eyes*
