This was the dilemna faced by mother Ronja Wiedenbeck who was suddenly taken ill and put on medication which left her unable to feed her 11 month-old baby, who won't drink milk from a bottle.

Ronja logged on to the 'Breastfeeding Yummy Mummies' Facebook group from her hospital bed in Cornwall asking for volunteer 'wet nurses.'

Around 1,000 mothers responded offering their services and five nursing mothers fed Rio during Ronja's hospital visit.

Carolyn Quinn spoke to Fiona Tupper, one of the 5 women who helped.
