Can I Use My Friend's Breast Milk?

Published in Health and Wellness 1 min read

You should not use your friend's breast milk to feed your baby.

Breast milk is specifically designed for the baby it is intended for, and sharing it can be dangerous.

Here are a few reasons why:

  • Disease transmission: Breast milk can carry viruses and bacteria that could be harmful to your baby.
  • Nutritional differences: Each mother's breast milk has a unique composition of nutrients that is tailored to her own baby's needs.
  • Allergic reactions: Your baby could have an allergic reaction to your friend's breast milk.

It is always best to talk to your baby's doctor about feeding options.
