Three-week-old Sequoia is one lucky baby: She is breastfed by not one, but two women, her mothers Heidi and Mary Ellen Olson. The married couple from Santa Cruz, Calif. engage in a practice called “co-nursing,” in which they share breastfeeding duties.
“Our friends are fascinated by the fact that my wife and I both breastfeed our daughter,” Heidi, 26, a nanny and the baby’s birth mom, tells Yahoo Parenting. “We get a lot of, ‘Wow, that’s amazing!’ and ‘I didn’t know that was possible!’”

Induced lactation is indeed possible through dedicated nipple stimulation — either by putting baby to breast or with the aid of a breast pump — and is sometimes used by moms (and, very rarely, men) with adopted or surrogate children who want to breastfeed. Mary Ellen has opted for something called the Newman-Goldfarb protocol, a physician-developed approach that combines pumping with the taking of a drug called domperidone.
“The child has only one mother.”
Biologically.
Legally (and now socially) the kid has two “mommies”. Welcome to the (horrifying) New Normal.
My butt hurts.
What’s the bambino’s name? “Surge”? “DeLaval”? Whatever its name, it must be a strong milker. Did the one of them actually give birth to the child and the other take hormones to stimulate lactation? It isn’t something one can turn on like a light switch; is it?
the poor kid will look like a blemp.
Sorry. I axed the krestion before reading the article.
Twisted. Just like the child will be after rearing by a couple of twisted sisters. IMHO of course.
Fear not. Your tax dollars are hard at work studying this very issue.
They are no more married than my male and female dogs are married.
Here's what's wrong:
(1) Lesbian pseudo-"marriage". Or as I sometimes call it, "mirage."
(2) Pregnancy via artificial insemination. Deliberately deprives the child of her right to derive personal identity, kinship network, provision and guidance from her natural father. The child's right. And this right is not something that can be abrogated at-will by the mother, which is why AI is wrong for everyone, even "straight" women.
(3) (FTA) "..[the milk-inducing drug] has been called into question by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for causing cardiac problems and unknown risks for infants."
It's unethical to subject babies to unnecessary risks w/o proportionate benefits (though I don't know how big this risk is, compared to the benefit of nursing).
That's it.
The federal government is still seeking answers as to why the majority of lesbians are obese and U.S. taxpayers are footing the bill, which now totals $2.87 million.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) study is now in its fourth year, receiving an additional $670,567 for fiscal year 2014. The project seeks to determine why “nearly three-quarters of adult lesbians overweight or obese,” and why gay males are not.
In just two years the project’s budget has nearly doubled, growing from $1.5 million to nearly $3 million today, despite fears that sequestration could jeopardize the project and other NIH funding.

Your tax dollars are still hard at work.
“our daughter”
No, it’s not YOUR daughter.
It’s the daughter of one of you and some anonymous male m*sterbator.
And he’s racist too.
Well, the fact that some people get freaked out at successful opposite-gender married relationship is pretty sad. So many people seem up to their necks in wanting to prove that anyone who disagrees with them is bad. Or hoping for anyone who disagrees with them to be an awful person.
Congratulations on your 30th Wedding Anniversary when it arrives.
The drug part sounds a little disturbing.
At least one of those females is NOT her mother.
The married couple
Two women are not a married couple. They're two women celebrating sexual perversion.
that my wife
You can't have a wife if you're not a husband, Heidi. And YOU'RE NOT A HUSBAND, you miserable, perverted creep.
Good luck with that ...
Most people don't care about your gay illness....STFU..
Sequoia is a rising name of babies, both sexes...
Howard Stern’s fantasy infancy.
