A mother-and-child relationship is one of the most beautiful bonds in the world.
This next story has left a lot of people confused because a mother is now sharing through an online platform how she feels after her own best friend betrayed her.
She claims that attending a wedding with a baby is no easy task. But she could not miss it and hence took her child along. And that’s where she sat down with one of her close friends. The duo started to talk and have a great time but this did not last for too long.
The mother had stepped away for a brief moment to meet some other guests. She made sure the baby was well and secure with her best friend who adored handling little kids.
But to her dismay, just a few moments later, she noticed something shocking. She claims that she tried so hard not to scream and lose her cool in front of other guests that were seated for the black tie event.
However, returning to find her child sucking on her best friend’s nipple to attain milk had her so furious that it was just a terrible ordeal.
Taking her feelings and uncontrollable emotions to the social media platform of Reddit, the mother explained how gutted she felt to see this take place.
This was supposed to be her best friend, the one she trusted out of all the people in her circle. But she felt betrayed by her and so furious too.
The mother adds how her friend found it all right not to take her permission and start feeding her child while speaking to other wedding guests. That really did leave a bad taste in her mouth and now, the duo are not on talking terms.
What advice would you give this mother regarding this incident? Let us know and be sure to SHARE the story with others too.
She was helping and able. She was hungry and rather than letting her get cranky she fed her. Get over yourself. She’s too young to even remember. But your tantrum is concerning. You must not be a real Friend or you wouldn’t have such insecurities.
It’s terrible. Go get the mother…why would she do something so disrespectful
Really, that was disrespectful and highly inappropriate
I agree. If the baby is hungry get mom or ask🙏💕
Not only disrespectful but unhygienic, no one knows what that woman had transmitted to the baby . Talking about diseases too 😳 I would be very furious too !
Umm what? Omg, the friend overstepped. I think the mom has every right to be mad. If I were the friend I would have went and found mom and said “I think your little one is hungry”, the friend is not a “wet nurse” she wasn’t hired to feed the baby in mommy’s absence. Breastfeeding your own baby is a great bonding experience— I don’t care if it happened only 1 time—
Seriously??? You think this is OK??? Go get the mother so she can feed her child, don’t just shove your own boob in their face if the parents haven’t agreed to it. It is one thing to feed them a bottle if the parents have provided it but this could be classed as indecent exposure since she didn’t have the parents permission
it was not her child. how did the bio mom know if there was anything in the friend’s breastmilk harmful to the child. totally wrong and inappropriate.
While I do find it strange this occured your BEST FRIEND would not harm your baby I would venture to say. I recently lost my best friend of 40 years and believe me you had better think twice before ending this friendship. This is far more important than your ,to be honest,chidish feelings.
While the best friend stepped over the line, forgive, making sure she knows your wishes in the future. Not worth losing a friendship over and she might’ve thought she was really helping.
I agree! It’s not worth losing a best friend but she should just set boundaries with her🙏💕
I can understand the best friend thought she was helping, but I don’t think that I would have breastfed another persons child without their permission. The mother was there busy or not I would have told her the baby was hungry, with all this covid going around no, I wouldn’t want lose the friendship just talk it out and get over it.
Omg. Preposterous!!!! That is very unsafe and definately stepping out of bounds when you are there.I would be furious too. It’s abusing your friendship and violating your motherhood .
Just wait some day the tables may be turned.
Really, that was disrespectful and highly inappropriate
I would never dream of breastfeeding someone else’s baby unless it was an emergency type situation or the mother asked.
I would
Not have attended wedding with the baby in the first place. The other mother who breastfed your baby from her breast was disrespectful…. Why did you not bring bottles with your own breast milk in them for feeding… why did you not feed your child first from your own breast and then go chat with other guests… ?? You should have perhaps taken care of your child’s feeding needs before deciding to go talk to other wedding guests. Just saying..
I am well aware breast feeding is a natural thing. However at a wedding it might have been more appropriate to go to a secluded place to feed the baby. The mother should have asked if there was somewhere private she could go. Some people are not comfortable when they are talking to someone and suddenly she starts to feed her baby.
The best friend breastfed the baby without permission, this wasn’t a mother feeding her baby in front of guests.
The friend should not have breast fed the baby, she should have taken the baby to the mother.
