French Nurse Offers to Breastfeed for Gay Parents

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A nurse has sparked controversy in France for posting a classified online advert to breastfeed babies whose parents – notably gay men – are unable to do so.

Denounced as illegal and a health hazard by experts, the 100-euro-per-day (£86) rental of the 29-year-old's breasts is thought to be the first such commercial venture since France legalised gay marriage and adoption earlier this year.

The new mother posted the novel offer on the website e-loue.com (e-rental), whose motto is: "With e-loue.com, everything is up for rent.

"I am a young mother in full health, a trained nurse, 29 years old, and I'm renting out my breasts to feed young babies. In one day I can offer you up to a dozen feeds for your baby," reads the ad by "cecelia232" titled "Breast rental – breast-feeding – Boulogne", a district on the western outskirts of Paris. » | Henry Samuel, Paris | Tuesday, August 06, 2013
