The woman wants to help her sister out so she can get 'jobs done'

A woman has shared how she willingly helps her sister out by offering to breastfeed her newborn baby for her.

Having a baby takes a lot of time to adapt to, having to try and manage your time to get things done as well as looking after your baby and making sure it is getting the needs and attention required. This means that any help from friends and family is always appreciated when they offer to lend a helping hand.

However, two sisters have gone one step further, as they share the breastfeeding duties - despite trolls calling them "weird" for it.

Emily wants to help her sister out so she can get jobs done

They call it 'teamwork' despite others calling it 'weird'

The sisters call it "teamwork", but have raised some eyebrows over their decision to both breastfeed. Influencer Emily Boazman helps her sister Kate out so she can get jobs done and helps out when she can. Already a mum of three, Emily is well equipped for childcare, but some don't agree she should be breastfeeding Kate's newborn baby.

As she shared a video of herself nursing the baby, Emily told her followers she is doing the feeding while Kate "recovers". Kate said: "I've already fed her, she just loves the nipple," and shared how her baby is always hungry. Emily then said: "She just wants to nurse 24/7 so I’ll just pop in and give her a little feed so Kate can get stuff done besides feeding."

The viral video has racked up over 1.6 million views and has caused a debate on whether this is the right thing to do. Some were in favour of the kind act, as one person shared their own experience and said: "I nursed for a total stranger in the emergency room once. I could see the stress in their eyes and asked if I could help them."

While another added: "My sister's 30th birthday she got really drunk and I was nursing my son still so I nursed my niece that night for her," and a third chimed: "My sister and I had babies a few months apart and this was a lifesaver for us! We nursed each other's babies as needed."

However others weren't in favour of it, as one mum chimed: "I'm too jealous to let my baby nurse off anyone except me. Like ONLY time would be if they were in NEED of food. That's it," and a second penned: "I don't know if it would be for me, but if it works for other people, I think it's really nice to see moms supporting other mums and their babies!!"

Despite the comments from other mums claiming it's not right, it appears Emily and her sister regularly help each other out and Emily has been called the "best aunt ever" for stepping in to help Kate.
