what the hell is threading your eyebrows?
The title of the thread is basically asking if you would let someone else offer the breast for COMFORT not for actual feeds. So no I absolutley wouldn't let someone else offer it for comfort
Yes if they were a close friend/family and there was nothing else.
My friend offered to bf scott if I was unable to after the birth (for whatever reason) rather than give him a bottle which I preferred!
regarding the HIV I could be sure as i dont think a mother would bf her baby if she had HIV, and it unlikely that people would sleep around after the birth
I would feed a hungry baby in a heartbeat, provided his/her mum was okay with me BFing her child. If Darwin was hungry and I couldn't feed him and I knew the other woman was healthy, I wouldn't have an issue with someone else BFing him.
oh nooo waay ..
I think you have to look a bit wider than that....they could have contracted HIV before having baby and be unaware of it, also if someone's OH did the dirty on them they could be infected, they would only have to sleep with someone once to become infected. Anyway that's not the issue, I was just mentioning that as it's something that not everyone knows.

Actually, the blood tests they do at your booking in include HIV, so they would know if they had just had a baby. Of course you couldn't be 100% sure, but you can't be 100% sure about yourself either as your OH could have done the dirty on you. Nothing in life (or motherhood) is 100%, all we can do is weigh things up and make a decision.

thats what I meant
Wouldn't bother me either. I'd be more bothered by a hungry baby crying and not being able to do something about it!
