Question:
A woman breastfed a girl for seven days, but the feedings were not directly from the breast; rather, she put the milk in a cup and the girl drank it. Are these feedings binding?
Answer:
There is no harm, no blame. Breastfeeding is from the breast, and it is from bottles; because the infant may not accept the breast and may take from bottles. If he breastfeeds five times or more, he becomes a son to the wet nurse, but it must be within the first two years before weaning.
