IS THIS HYGIENIC? SISTERS WHO BREAST FEED EACH OTHERS CHILDREN

It's called wet nursing and is actually an age-old parenting method that dates back to the ancient Greeks. Sisters Bunty Rowe and Kyle Aldridge have been breast feeding each others babies for four years now and they claim cross-feeding is natural and convenient and has even brought their children closer together. Here them;

Bunty, 26, who has two daughters Mabel, four, and Ede, two, said:

'We enjoy breastfeeding, at the end of the day its all about choice. It's a convenience thing as well as emotionally comforting. I didn't want to give my children formula, that's just a choice I made, so it gave me great emotional comfort to know that if my sister was looking after my daughter she could feed her.'

MISS WORLD 2013 CONTESTANTS WON'T BE WEARING BIKINI DUE TO PRESSURE FROM MUSLIMS IN INDONESIA

Organisers of Miss Wrld beauty pageant have confirmed that the 137 women competing in the event, which will be held in Bali this year, will not be wearing the usual bikini during the beach wear section of the competition. Sorry guys.

The contestants are being asked to cover up in the swimsuit section, so as not to offend Muslims in Indonesia. The ladies will wear more conservative beachwear such modest one pieces, accessorised with traditional sarongs and hats for the beach fashion section.

A prominent Muslim cleric, Mukri Aji, said, “that contest is just an excuse to show women’s body parts that should remain covered.”

The Miss World Organisation chairwoman Julia Morely said: "I don't want to upset or get anyone in a situation where we are being disrespectful. We treasure respect for all the countries that take part in the pageant. I did make sure to conform to the rules in Indonesia, which I thought were perfectly reasonable rules. “I’m working with 137 countries, and all of them have different rules.”

TEE BILLZ WIPED MY SHAME AWAY WHEN HE PUT A RING ON MY FINGER - TIWA SAVAGE

Read excerpts from her interview with VANGUARD;

Is there any track dedicated to Tunji (Tee Billz) in your album?
Yes, there’s this track Written All Over Your Face. I dedicated the song to him for the role he played in my life. I met him at a time when no one was ready to help because I’m a female artiste. And whenever I wanted to give up and cry sometimes, he always encouraged me to be strong and move on. He’s my back bone. I love him because he’s been there for me. He wiped my shame away when he put a ring on my finger.

Why did you say he took your shame away. Were you ashamed of being single?
(Laughs). You know in Nigeria when a lady isn’t married and is just focused on her career, people think there’s something wrong with her. But he understood my journey. He was able to push me career-wise and encourage me. So, I just had to do a song for him.
