      I was one of those mothers that couldn’t produce enough milk. So getting milk from reliable sources was nice so I didn’t have to use as much formula. Because that stuff is expensive. I do agree that kid was way too old.

      The breast milk is 100% the issue! Are y'all insane?! There is no telling what illnesses, diseases, or infections her friends have and I would even wager on the high likelihood that they would not rat themselves out should they have any std's (which, unless you're brain dead, MANY of them can in fact be passed from breast to baby, which is one of the other huge reasons donor organizations exist and why they test every person who donates rigorously). Not to even mention drugs that those women may take or other potentially dangerous substances that her baby may be allergic to or affected by. People: DO NOT BORROW BREAST MILK FROM YOUR FRIENDS! NEWBORNS ARE DELICATE AND CAN DEFINITELY DIE IF YOU GIVE THEM BREAST MILK THAT HASN'T BEEN TESTED!!! There's also no way to ensure the milk was collected and stored with any sanitation in mind. If the friend left it out too long, is sick, drank liquor within a certain timeframe, didn't wash or sanitize the storage containers or the breast pump, or didn't refrigerate/freeze it prior to it being handed over, then it's a disaster just waiting to happen. Hell, even despite our not so great financial situation + my inability to produce yet because our daughter was severely premature/delivered at 29 weeks and we owed a shit ton of money for several months of NICU in addition to my body not producing as it tried to play catch up...I still would NEVER have used breast milk from a friend, family member, or stranger I found online. I would still go through donor organizations and make that drive so I didn't risk my child's life. Poverty and trying to save are not legitimate excuses. Lack of producing is not an excuse. There are benefits to assist women even above the poverty line (which we were by several thousand, yet still were granted snap) that do in fact take a lack in production as a qualifier. That woman can 100% apply for snap benefits and get it through much safer means. And if the kid is too old to meet those qualifications, then it's damn well bloody time to get the kid on regular milk, regular foods, and water. That kid shouldn't have to be forced to drink something potentially dangerous, especially on live fvcking tv. This whole this is absolutely sickening. The breast milk is most definitely a problem and she is no better than an antivaxxer refusing their kid vaccinations out of pure ignorance and wanting to seem bbette/wiser than everyone else (despite actually looking bloody rεⵜαгdεd and like a neglectful parent to the rest of society).

    A sweet friend of mine from high school produced a lot of milk. This was just a year or so ago. The couple had fertility issues and didn’t think they could get pregnant. After years of no baby, she got pregnant with a cute lil girl. 😊 She put the excess milk in the freezer and saved it for women in their small farming community that needed help. It brought a tear to my eye that she could and she would.

    Why do people think they have to have a changing table? All I bought was the pad, since it's coated in plastic. You just put that on the floor to protect the carpet, or on the bed to protect the bedding, and if anything leaks out you can easily clean it off the plastic-coated pad. So cheap, so easy, and it's portable. This lady is crazy.

      My little sister (foster family) was also changed on the floor, couch or bed with a simple regular cloth underneath - not even with plastic - and I've seeing pics of my brother and myself (both birth family) on a padded mat on a regular table - with a cloth cover so I don't know if the mat was plastic or not.
      I mean if you want a changing table, go for it, but it's really not necessary by any means, especially since kids are already super expensive without stuff like that.

    .
    Some women can't produce breast milk. There are actually many reasons why a woman could suddenly stopped producing breast milk even if she's healthy. There's also a condition called elastic nipple where breast pumps make it harder to produce breast milk. There's actually breast milk exchange programs to help mothers and families who are going through issues of this type.
    Furthermore some families want their children to remain on breast milk so if the mother is unable to produce they will often find these programs to help them.
    Wet nurses have been helping in this way since forever.

      Yeah. I've been reading up on ancient Chinese history and I find it fascinating how noble houses handle breastfeeding. Somehow, noble women and women from the royal family are not allowed to breastfeed their babies. They will already have at least two wet nurses available, which are nursing mothers hired from commoner families. They are brought in early on then isolated and treated well to ensure that they are eating healthy and have no conditions WHATSOEVER (even if it's just a tiny rash or dandruff 😅). Sometimes, they are not allowed to go out and their movements are monitored because they are one of the ways the families' enemies can harm the babies. They're scared that the wet nurse can eat foods that can affect their milk and cause reactions on the baby or even poisoning. It's a veeeery lucrative job but pretty dangerous, coz your entire family can sometimes be used as a collateral.
      Comparing this to what's happening on the video is kinda funny.

    I saw a documentary and selling breast milk is a VERY lucrative industry and when I say lucrative I’m talking over $100 million dollar industry. The documentary goes on to explain the women that provide the breast milk have to go through physicals & various testing to ensure they’re healthy & not on any substances. There’s an agency that acts like a middle man between the mother buying the milk & the one providing it. I got the impression that it’s one of the many things rich people do to make their lives easier. Maybe the mother can’t produce enough milk or honestly doesn’t want to be bothered with the process of pumping & they hire the agency to find a mother willing to sell her milk.

    As some who WORE cloth diapers as a baby, way back when (I had an allergy to the chemicals they used to put in the disposables at the time, apparently), I remember seeing the old style ones around, and occasionally my Mom still would use one on my brothers when thwy were little in a pinch (aka, we ran out of the disposables). You're right Ken, the cloth ones don't really save money or the environment that much because of how much laundry you need to do because of them. They also need changed MORE often (the disposable ones can hold up to a bit of wetness a LOT better, especially during the day). Seemed like the cloth ones, as soon as any little dribble got on them, they needed changed because baby was uncomfortable and rashes would develop faster if left for even a short amount of time.

Which could potentially lead to incest if a mother's milk shared and given to too many babies, Which is asinine.

    They also make reusable pads, and adult diapers (my partners grandma is in hospice and i had asked if they made the diapers like these pads and if we could get those cause she goes through more diapers than a baby does, which surprised me).
    I thought the pads would gross me out, got them as a present from my mother for christmas this past year, honestly- tried them cause i was low on pads and too lazy/cramps to go to the store. was genuinely super pleasantly suprised that they hold MORE, dont chaff your existence to oblivion, and less worry about it like shifting to a side and making a mess on your pants or something. Also saving money. The whole washing thing was gross for like, one whole day to me, while i figured it all out, then i realised i mean, thier getting washed in the laundry ( they get thier own load cause im still iffy about it) and thier just as clean after as any other clothes id wear. So despite me thinking they'd be nasty af, im actually super happy that i switched. also, ALOT less swamp ass in the middle of hot texas weather, goddamn they are so absorbant.
    TLDR: Cloth pads/diapers are really awesome. and a HUGE money saver. try em out, even if they gross you out.

      Also guessing it would depend on how often you'd want to wash them and all that. I feel like the ones I've seen are somewhat pricey, but they are reusable, so probably worth it over a span of time as long as they last.

    In relation to the breast milk sharing thing, that’s still totally normal to me, especially if you have people you know and trust who are willing to donate. I’m an over producer and I’ve been lucky enough to be able to help a friend from church who had her son the same time as me and her supply plummeted suddenly. I understand how that could seem weird, but at the end of the day breast milk is breast milk. And yes, fed is best but formula is virtually unaffordable nowadays so finding donors can be a huge blessing.

She showed me how it all worked and it does save, but the set she had was expensive though they went through two kids (barely). She would agree with Ken the washing machine was always going. My husband and I just had the mat for changing with two washable covers. So much cheaper then the changing tables and worked well for us given the convivence. Even had a little make shift caddy to hold diapering supplies. Now our pack and play also had a changing spot on it which helped as well when it came to diapering.

You will also do a lot of laundry so watch for how much it increases your utility bills, but overall its probably cheaper than disposable diapers. Would not suggest trying to fashion an old t-shirt into one. Also I made a stack of changing pads and changed on the floor. Fabric is cheap and you just need to make a big square to change on so pretty simple.
