DOUBLE BREAST-FED

     Just when I thought I'd seen it all; I cannot unsee this. Talk about double-breasting! I'm just going to get right into this one. 

     So, a Pennsylvania mom, Jessica Colletti says she loves breast-feeding so much , she's doing it twice. That's not so bad, right? Yeah, if it was for her own children! Only one of the kids is hers. She's also breast-feeding her friend's kid and the friend liked the plan so much, she moved in with Colletti and her husband. Okay, all together now...."What the Hell?" Colletti said, "It seemed like the natural thing to do because I was already breast-feeding my son." Yeah, YOUR son! It's not natural to feed someone else's son, you psycho!

     The milky situation started last year after Colletti met Charlie Interrante at a magazine photo shoot for new mothers and Interrante mentioned her trouble nursing her son, Mateo, who is now 18 months old. Interrante was not able to pump her own breast milk for Mateo at her job as a barber and Mateo had trouble digesting formula. Colletti offered to feed him along with her own son, Lucian, who is now 16 months old, and the women became inseparable ever since. The babies too. Um, I'm not sure but isn't 16 and 18 months a little old to still be breast-feeding? I looked up the average age to stop breast-feeding and it said 2 to 3 years old, but I think that even that is too old. I think my sister stopped breast-feeding her kids before they were even one-year-old. 

     Colletti gloated, "They're milk brothers...They will always have that bond." That is disgusting! I'm all for breast-feeding when it's your OWN child! Colletti nearly broke the Internet on Saturday when she posted a photo of herself feeding the boys on the blog Mama Bean. One commenter posted, "This looks like a porn film." Another wrote, "OH GOOD GRIEF! What the HELL is wrong with people?!?!?!" Some local moms thought the concept of double-breastfeeding was beautiful, but for your own kids. 

     Colletti insists there's nothing sexual about the "family unit" Interrante, herself and her IT consultant husband Ben have created in their Conshohocken, PA home. She says that critics are just misinformed because they wrongly sexualize breast-feeding. Um, no! It's not natural for a complete stranger to be drinking your breast milk! The whole idea is just insane!

      According to Interrante, the arrangement is only about chore-sharing and child-raising and she's grateful for the help. Sure! Let your nanny breast-feed your child! I still don't understand the logic! I will say this again; I have nothing against breast-feeding. I think it's a beautiful part of life, but when you're breast-feeding someone else's child, there is something severely wrong with that. I'm dying to read your thoughts on this.
