A stunned mum shared the moment she saw her own sister breastfeeding her newborn, and is wondering whether she was wrong to call the police on her.

The babies, who are three and five weeks old, were both being breastfed by the sister, leaving there no other food options but the breastmilk. Furious, the mum called the police on her sister but now wonders if she was a little harsh. Sharing her situation on Reddit, she wrote: "I'm 22 and my sister is 27. We had babies within two weeks of each other, and our sons are now three and Five weeks old. Her son is breastfed and mine is not. "I needed to get surgery recently, and because my son's father isn't around, my sister and [brother-in-law] offered to babysit my son while I was in the hospital (three days total) free of charge.

"It was probably easier to [breastfeed] him than make bottles but she told me after she had thrown out all of the 'garbage' I was feeding him and she was going to pump and donate milk to him.
