Adoption Breastfeeding
I have a friend who is adopting a newborn in March. She wants to
breastfeed and it will be her first breastfeeding experience. Do any of you know anyone who has successfully breastfed an adopted baby? Any support sites? Tips? Thanks, Misti |

Do any of you know anyone who has successfully breastfed an adopted baby? Any support sites? Tips? I recently met a woman who breastfed all three of her adopted children. And she had never given birth herself. There was a prescription drug she took which helped get it started, and then she pumped A LOT to get milk production.... and her third is solely breastfed, too (the first one at least was combifed). I'm afraid I dont' know more than that, but it *can* be done. I'm not sure if it's JUST a matter of diligence and perserverance, or if she was just lucky, or what. Cathy Weeks |
