    Wow there are so many different points of view about this subject as obviously there would.
    I have thought about this a lot also. My SIL has fed my DS1 when I had to go out for an emergency. Yes I did feel a bit uncomfortable about it and so did she, though my DS didn't mind at all and latched on straight away.
    I was a bit upset about the bonding part of it, but really it was a 3 min feed and a once off. I now have a DS2 who is 12 weeks and my SIL is expecting her second in Aug and I would not hesitate to let her BF my son again. I think I would actually feel a bit more uncomfortable Bfeeding another bub than someone BF my bub. Oh and also DS1 would not take formula or expressed BM from a bottle, a sippy cup or anything so it had to be straight from the boob!
    Very Interesting points of view though.
