Would You Breast Feed Another Womans Baby?

I am a mother of two. I breast fed both of my girls. I support women and breast feeding. I don't mind when women breast feed in public. I never nursed in public, but that was my choice. I think breast feeding is a natural and healthy way to nurture a child. Breast feeding is the healthiest way to get your child's life started in a positive direction. I think the stigma that has swept through the United States about breast feeding is wrong and misplaced. With that said, I have a question for all the mothers who are reading this. Let me first start by explaining my topic.

On Good Morning America there was a story of two women who nurse each others children. They call it cross-nursing. These women are not related, they are simply friends. There is nothing wrong with either mother, they simply believe that cross nursing is safe and healthy. These women go on to say that cross nursing is natural and normal and that it is done in other countries.

On the other hand, Laleche league an organization that provides support to breast-feeding mothers and the biggest promoter of breast feeding in America says that cross-nursing is not safe. Leigh Anne O'Connor, leader of La Leche warns that breast feeding another woman's child can be risky and that "mothers need to be screened for diseases like tuberculosis, syphilis, HIV and hepatitis-associated antigens." All of these diseases can be passed from a woman to a child through breast milk. Laleche suggest women use a safer alternative like a milk bank, where all the milk is screened for diseases then pasteurized, and stored for women who want their child to only drink breast milk and are having a problem doing so themselves.

I hate to admit this but, I have a slight problem with cross nursing. I'm not sure that nursing another woman's child when she is perfectly healthy and capable is actually beneficial to a child. I don't understand what the point of doing this is. I can understand a sister of a woman being a surrogate breast feeder if the mother is unable. I can also understand if a woman is ill, and unable to nurse, then possibly a surrogate mother could help but, that would be an extenuating circumstance.

My question now is would you breast feed your neighbors child, just for the heck of it?
If you want to read the entire story that was on GMA, I posted a link to the story that they aired on cross-nursing.
