This is a question that many moms don't even think twice about. Why would you let your baby drink someone else's breastmilk? Is breastfeeding that important to you that you would be willing to use someone else's milk? Well, if you think these questions might be a bit crazy - think of this: If your baby drinks cow's or goat's milk, or drinks formula made from cow's milk, then they are already drinking someone else's breastmilk, right?
