First, I want to say that the title is misleading and obviously meant to shock us. I'm not very happy about that as even the implication of incestuous behavior turns my stomach. She isn't breastfeeding him, she's donating breast milk to him.
I'm fighting my initial response which is to be super grossed out. I shouldn't be, we drink cow breast milk after all. It's not that it's breast milk that freaks me out, it's that it's a daughter sharing it with her father and the image that it puts in your head. I think I'd be more comfortable with this if it was anonymous breast milk from a milk bank (which already exist for moms who never develop breast milk while pregnant). Either way, I think it's amazing if it actually work (both I and my mother have cancer) and I hope that the medical community is working hard to figure out WHAT in the breast milk is the key and how to replicate it.
