Breastfeeding dilemma: should she have accepted her sister’s offer?

Breastfeeding can be a contentious issue, and it’s even more complicated when it involves family. A woman with two young children declined her sister’s offer to nurse her baby, and things got awkward. The sisters and their friend group all breastfeed, and they often nurse each other’s children. When the younger sister joked about switching to formula so she could go out with friends, the older sister offered to take care of the baby. The younger sister’s reaction was to decline her offer, which her older sister found hurtful. The situation escalated when the younger sister made it clear that the idea of her sister nursing her child creeped her out. The older sister and her friends left the gathering, and now the younger sister is wondering if she was in the wrong. Was she too harsh in her refusal, or was her sister’s offer crossing a boundary?
