| Summary |
Kate Garraway, UK presenter and mother of a two-year-old daughter, investigates the pros and cons of cross-feeding, breast milk donation and wet-nursing, by meeting some of the growing numbers of women who share each other's milk."I'm on a journey to find people who believe milk has to be from the breast," says Kate, "people who buy it, sell it, people who give it away and people who even feed each other's babies. To many this might seem weird, but they challenge us that it's actually much weirder to give our babies cows' milk than it is to drink milk from another woman. It's a journey I won't forget in a hurry."The people Kate meets include sisters who cross-feed their babies; women who are able to breastfeed even though they have never been pregnant; surrogate mothers who produce two gallons of milk a week for donation; and a cancer sufferer who believes breast milk has cured his condition.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Channel 4, UK |
