Cross-nursing Take Two

Lola and I went to a postpartum support group tonight, and she was being very fussy and didn't want to take a bottle. I knew Cheryl, a local doula, had cross-nursed other babies before, so I asked her to nurse Lola.
She said, "Yes."



 She was content the rest of the night.




And one for the road. :)

  3. I have thought about cross nursing other babies but honestly don't even know where to start. It's not like I want to be all, "Hey, want me to nurse your baby?"....even though that's kind of what I'm thinking in my head. <3

  7. I so want to do this! (but am afraid others will think I'm weird because I love nursing. I love holding a baby and nursing. Sadly I usually have a low milk supply problem and....it makes me so sad...)
