I wonder.....I think the volunteers have come forward solely to do
this loving act *because* breastfeeding is being seen as just the
milk. One sole person, feeding their donated milk in a bottle,
staying with the baby long-term, is better. That could even be
easier to arrange.
However, I agree, it may well be the only solution available to the
family at this time. We can't judge the details.
But speaking generally, we know that consistent care-giving by one or
two people is the physiological, psychological and emotional norm for
human infants.
