I was watching a programme on TVC and a topic was been discussed about grandmums breastfeeding their grandchildren especially when the mother of the babies are not around.

Mothers,can you allow your mother breastfeed your baby in your absence?

I don't think its hygienic. The grand mum has not breast fed for several years, the nipples will definitely be carrying hidden dirt particles.

but she baths everyday and washes her nipples. I don't think the reason for grandmums not to breast their grandchildren is due to hygiene. She can always clean the nipples if she wants to breastfeed.

I wanna know how possible it is for breastmilk to flow despite not breastfeeding for a long time.

When the mother is still alive? If the baby's mother is dead, that was the only condition I have heard a grandmother breastfed her grandchild.

What for?

Has the price of milk suddenly gone up in Nigeria? Its barbaric & unhygienic.

Such milk is devoid of principal nutritional constituents.

The periods of gestation & lactation works parri passu. Important secretions are made therein.

Grandmothers should please desist. Like one of the set theories in Mathematics ' All elements in A are not in B'

He he he he. I remembered the day my MIL said she wanted to wash her breast and breastfeed my daughter. I smiled sinisterly. I told her son when he got back from work that he should warn his mother not to try it o. Which kain thing be that! What do you expect?

From her past behaviour and attitude, it is as if I don't exist as the mother of the child. She wants to be the one to cut her first hair, do the naming ceremony, etc. So as soon as she made that suggestion, I drummed it into her son's ears that he should tell his mother not to try it.

Olorun ko ni je ki eni eleni gba ise mi se lori omo mi. Amin. Someone can help to interpret

Seriously? I don't think so. I think granny's breastmilk is also rich in nutrients. You know,the older the richer. grin grin

If grandmums have been doing this; could it be responsible for an increase in strangely behaving individuals?

Me too but I would love to see one of such people so my theory can be disproven.

I don't see a problem there. My issue would be if a stranger tried it.

Grandma milk is sweeter and more nutritional

GRAND MOTHERS EAT NATURAL FOOD AND VAGETABLES.THEIR MILK IS NUTRITIONAL.


MODERN GIRLS EAT SUGER,MILO,INDOMIE,ONGA AND COKE.
