Mum sparks debate with picture showing her breastfeeding her son - and friend's child she babysits

A mother has sparked a fierce debate by posting a picture of herself breastfeeding her child - and a friend's son. Jessica Anne Colletti shared the intimate snap with the parenting blog Mama Bean Unconditional Attachment, which promotes breastfeeding. The married mum-of-one is seen nursing her own 16-month-old son and her friend's 18-month-old boy. In the post, which was shared on the blog's Facebook page, Jessica describes the boys as "milk siblings". She explains: "My son on the right is 16 months and my friend's son is 18 months. "I watch her son while she works and have been feeding them both for a year! "So much love between these milk siblings, it's a special bond between us all." Would you feel comfortable with another woman breastfeeding your child? Have your say below. Jessica told blog author Louise : "Breastfeeding my friend's son came naturally to me. "I started babysitting him when he was 5 months old and the first time she dropped him off to me I asked permission to nurse him, since I was already nursing my 3 month old. "She responded with an enthusiastic yes, because he was having issues with the formula his previous sitter had been giving him. "My friend struggled with breastfeeding in the beginning and succeeded for 9 months. She was always very happy that her son had the nutrition and comfort he needed while she was working. "Being able to breastfeed her little boy has created a special bond between us all, a bond I will always cherish."
