How would you feel if your mother dry-nursed your baby?

Breastfeeding is a very good and natural thing for babies but what if you mother was dry nursing your baby? That`s right this may not be as weird as it sounds. By letting your mother dry nurse your baby your baby will feel that same comfort and warmth as if you were right next to the little guy or girl.

Key Takeaways:

• Reading Elizabeth’s story, it’s obvious a lot led up to the decision to offer her granddaughter a breast for comfort. This blogger has raised four children and step-mothered an additional four, but all of that experience failed to prepare her for dealing with a colicky 2-month-old.
• Explaining she’s used to being a “human pacifier” because all of her children have comfort-nursed,” Elizabeth says she felt “sure my daughter would be happy I soothed her baby by any means necessary.”
• Since everyone is now on board with the idea, Elizabeth has dry nursed her granddaughter on a few other occasions when she’s babysat.

“In theory I support the idea of doing whatever a baby needs to comfort them, but in practice I worry it’s more complicated than black and white.”
