It seems that cross nursing is more common, even in Western countries, than
most people realise. A couple of years back, there was a request in the
NMAA Newsletter for letters from Members who had 'wet nursed' another
mother's baby, and it amazed me the number of replies that were received.
It seems that, in Australia at least, it goes on, but normally no-one talks
about it because it is not culturally (or socially) 'acceptable'.
