artificial insemination kit for humans
In a viral TikTok video, a woman’s friend stepped in to breastfeed her baby after she had a few cocktails. The user, known as Grace, shared a heartwarming moment of friendship, captioning the video: “When you’re a few drinks in so you let your friend nurse your baby.” With over 1.4 million views and more than 2,000 comments, the post sparked a mix of reactions on the platform.
Many viewers celebrated the intimate gesture, while others expressed skepticism. One commenter remarked, “Too intimate, not a chance. Don’t drink,” while another pointed out the irony in people being uncomfortable with human milk from another person yet readily accepting milk from animals.
Grace explained in a follow-up video that her friend, who has a 7-month-old baby, was away for the weekend, and she allowed her to nurse to help strengthen her immune system and provide comfort. She emphasized that if a breastfeeding mother feels sober enough to drive, she can safely nurse her baby. The CDC notes that while abstaining from alcohol is the safest route for nursing mothers, moderate consumption (up to one standard drink per day) is generally not harmful if the mother waits at least two hours after drinking before breastfeeding.
Grace shared her trust in her friend, who also breastfeeds her own child. A commenter highlighted that the practice of wet nursing has historical roots, where lactating women would breastfeed children who were not their own—a common practice before the advent of formula and bottles.
Recent studies indicate that parents are increasingly turning to friends and acquaintances for breast milk, as informal sharing becomes more common, though it does raise safety concerns. According to research by the American Academy of Pediatrics, many mothers reported no safety issues with informally donated milk, trusting their donors instead.
The FDA advises that if you choose to use human milk from another source, it should come from screened donors to ensure safety. There are human milk banks that follow strict guidelines for screening and processing milk, with some states enforcing safety standards.
