Rebecca Wanosik from Missouri, USA, recently became a mother for the sixth time. One evening, a friend wrote her a message and asked her to help a friend. She also gave birth not so long ago, but soon after the birth she needed an operation, after which she could not breastfeed. And the child demanded mother’s milk and completely refused the bottle.
A friend asked if Rebecca could feed the baby. And the woman, who had plenty of milk, agreed. “When the baby was brought, I saw that he was hungry, tired, he needed milk,” Rebecca wrote on Facebook. “I did what was necessary. I hope that if my child needed help, someone else would do the same. It’s amazing how many people have accused me of doing something weird and disgusting. Yes, I posted a photo in which my and someone else’s baby ate together.
They don’t care, they were just hungry.” A photo of two toddlers enjoying a meal together has garnered hundreds of thousands of likes. But many suddenly began to accuse Rebecca of perversion, that she acted “disgustingly” by feeding someone else’s child.
The number of complaints and negative responses was so high that Facebook blocked Rebecca’s page, accusing her of posting “p.o.r.n. graphic content.” People who call feeding someone else’s child a perversion obviously do not understand history very well and do not know that the aristocrats of the whole world almost never breast-fed their children.
The nurses did it for them. Despite the criticism, Rebecca continues to help another mother and feed her baby, who is slowly getting used to eating formula. She admits that she is always ready to do it again if necessary.
