Certainly! Up until our recent modern times, this was a common practice. As along as the mother giving the baby breast milk is healthy, one mother giving her milk to another child, presents no problem. While of course the best nutritional value comes from the baby's mother as her milk will naturally change as the baby's needs change, any breast milk is better than formula.
