A mum, who breastfeeds her niece to help out her sister, says wet nursing should be normalised.

Emily Boazman, who has 115,000 followers on TikTok, shared a video of herself breastfeeding her niece, saying she was nursing her sister Kate’s baby while she eats and recovers. Emily’s sister adds: “I’ve already fed her. She just loves to nibble.”

“She wants to nurse 24/7, so I’ll just pop in and give her a little feed so Kate can get stuff done besides just nursing,” adds Emily.

While the concept of wet nursing, or breastfeeding someone else’s baby, isn’t new (we’ve previously featured another aunt breastfeeding her nephew), it’s not as common as it once was.

And judging by the comments, there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable with wet nursing.

“My jealousy would never allow this. That type bond is really special,” one mum commented.

“Weird a f to me I would never let someone nurse my baby,” said another.

In a follow-up TikTok, Emily shares several different videos of herself breastfeeding her niece, and at times, also feeding her own child.

“This used to be such a normal part of culture, and now its considered weird,” she captioned the video. “It truly “takes a village” and I think it’s so special to be able to feed my niece.”
