THIS PHOTO IS SHAKING UP PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN IT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. A WOMAN BREAST-FEEDING TWO CHILDREN AT THE SAME TIME BUT ONE ISN'T HERS. AS DIANE MACEDO FOUND OUT THE REACTION TO THE PHOTO IS INTENSE.
I THINK SHE SHOULD COVER HERSELF. A PARENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT ANY WAY SHE WANTS TO. Reporter: BREAST-FEEDING IN THE OPEN GETS MANY OPINIONS.
BUT ONE OF THESE BABIES ISN'T HERS. IT WAS VERY NATURAL. IT SEEMED VERY NATURAL.
Reporter: JESSICA SHARED THE PHOTO ON FACEBOOK WRITING, QUOTE, MY SON ON THE RIGHT IS 16 MONTHS AND MY FRIEND'S SON IS 18 MONTHS. I WATCH HER SON WHILE SHE WORKS AND HAVE BEEN FEEDING THEM BOLT FOR A YEAR. THE MOTHER -- BOTH FOR A YEAR.
THE MOTHER OF THE OTHER CHILD "GOOD MORNING AMERICA" EXPLAINING SHE HAD TROUBLE WEST FEEDING. I WAS ON MY WEBSITE WITH HER AND WE SHE OFFERED I WAS NOTHING BUT THANKFUL. Reporter: MANY PEOPLE WE SPOKE TO APPLAUDED THE EFFORT.
MOTHERS MILK IS VERY HEALTHY AND IT'S A BIG GIFT TO SHARE IT. Reporter: WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHY NOT?
WHY NOT? YOU NEED THE MILK, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT. AS A BREAST-FEEDING MOTHER I SUPPORT OTHER BREAST-FEEDING WOMEN.
Reporter: OTHERS DIDN'T LIKE IT. THAT'S CRAZY. THE PHOTO IS ALL RIGHT BUT THE PRINCIPLE OF THE FACT THAT, UM, SHE IS FEEDING SOMEONE ELSE'S KID.
Reporter: SO YOU WOULD NEVER BREAST-FEED SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILD? NO. AND I WOULD NEVER LET NOBODY BREAST-FEED MINE.
I DON'T THINK SHE SHOULD BE BREAST-FEEDING ANYONE ELSE'S CHILD. Reporter: TELL ME WHY? BECAUSE HYGIENE FOR ONE.
AND, UM, I DON'T THINK IT'S NORMAL. Reporter: LACTATION CONSULTANT SAYS THE PRACTICE OF SHARING BREAST MILK ISN'T NEW OR UNCOMMON. IT'S JUST BECOME RECENTLY IN SAY BACK IN THE '40s WHERE THE BIG FORMULA COMPANIES WERE TELLING FAMILIES, YOUR BREAST MILK IS NOT ENOUGH.
Reporter: BUT WET NURSING HAS A RISK. CONCERN WOULD BE WHAT DOES THIS OTHER MOTHER HAVE THAT I DON'T HAVE? THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE BREAST MILK.
Reporter: HAWKINS ADVISES TO ONLY ACCEPT DONATED MILK FROM TRUSTED PEOPLE OR MILK BANKS AND NEVER PURCHASE BREAST MILK FROM ANOTHER PERSON. DIANE MACEDO, HAZEL SANCHEZ, CBS 2 NEWS. -- DIANE MACEDO, CBS 2 NEWS.
BOTH MOTHERS HAVE MOVED IN TOGETHER AND THEY DESCRIBE THEIR SONS AS MILK BROTHERS. HM. YOU KNOW, WE LIVE IN AMERICA, RIGHT.
WE DO. YES. CHARMING PHOTO.
