I was not sure what a Wet Nurse even was until I came across this piece of writing by Tralee Pearce.
It says that women who are not in position to nurse their young ones because of either reason may go in for Wet Nursing or Cross Nursing.
The phenomenon is really growing into the North American mainstream to serve babies at risk, including sick and premature infants.
In Canada, the only milk bank is the B.C. Women’s Milk Bank, connected to the B.C. Women’s Hospital.
Last year, the bank served 500 recipients, up from only 33 in 1999, and even shipped to Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital.
In both Montreal and Toronto, medical teams are working on getting additional banks up and running.

Mommies would agree with me on the fact that a baby with a snotty nose is a big problem.
Neither can you bring the snot out of those tiny nostrils without hurting him nor can you let it accumulate there.
Soto bring you out of that jinxed situation, we have brought a bizarre but seemingly useful tool. It’s called Nosafrida.
Useful because it is a snot sucker to clean your baby’s nostrils and bizarre because you will be using your mouth to suck the snot out…sounds yuck!
I know, but don’t get bugged up… as there will be a long flexible tube with a mouthpiece between you and the snot collection chamber on the other end.
You’ll have to place the open end of the snot collection chamber against your baby’s nostrils and take the mouthpiece in your mouth and suck.
Don’t worry the inline filter will stop the snot from reaching your mouth. To prevent the filter from getting choked with dirt, you just have to blow of the mouthpiece in the sink and wash it and it’s ready to be used again.
