BALA CYNWYD, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania mom has ignited a national debate about breastfeeding after she shared a photo that shows her breastfeeding her 16-month-old son and her friend’s 18-month-old son at the same time.
Jessica Anne Colletti posted the photo in a Facebook Group named “Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!” She shared her story Mama Bean - Unconditional Attachment and People Magazine.
Colletti told People that many people are misinformed when it comes to breastfeeding.
“They think it’s gross bodily fluid that shouldn’t be shared or transferred in any way," she told People. "And I can understand, if people are receiving donated breast milk, they want to have it tested, but if you know the mother directly and she’s healthy, and you know everything about her, it’s a perfectly healthy relationship to have."
Colletti said she watches her friend’s son while she works. She has been breastfeeding her friend's son for a year.
“So much love between these milk siblings, it's a special bond between us all,” Colletti wrote.
