And if you have the chance to give your baby a healthier life, it’s an easy decision for any good parent.
Now, a ground-breaking trial offers exactly that.
The only drawback? A stranger will breastfeed your baby.
As head researcher behind the trial, Vita knows the science. She understands the benefits. She’s even convinced other families to sign up.
But there is nothing convincing about the ache Vita feels, watching another woman breastfeed her boy.
Vita’s husband insists they’ve made the right choice but everything feels wrong, and as loyalties blur and trust starts to crack, an unsettling question takes hold:
What will it cost to do what’s best for the baby?
And who will pay the price...?

We all want what’s best for our children.
And if you have the chance to give your baby a healthier life, it’s an easy decision, right?
Except when you’re giving up the one thing you want most... then there’s no telling what you’ll do.
