8 babies in 2 days....

ok, so.....npr brings me to tears more often than not...but the piece that ran as i was driving to l-ville to pick up my middle child was extraordinary.....one of the non-melissa block china commentators was being interviewed by melissa.....and she asked him about the stories he had come across in this horrendous week....and he said that his personal story of the week was about a police woman he came across who was breastfeeding a baby.....and when he spoke to her about the baby it turned out that this was not only NOT her baby, but that her baby was at home...and that she had fed 8 babies not her own over the past 2 days....in her words....a hungry baby is a hungry baby.....i was reminded tragically about a preppy woman somewhere i also heard about on npr.......who had left her baby with a friend, and was so horrified to discover that this woman had breastfed her hungry baby when she was late in returning that she sued her friend in court...and won.....only in america would we sue someone who was generous enough to feed our hungry babies....and yet there is a wondrous woman somewhere in southwestern china who would feed all the hungry babies.....
