Adoptive mother plans to breastfeed newborn adopted child
I am new to this board and am planning on adopting a newborn.
We have a biological son who is currently 9 years old. I
breastfed him until he was 6 months of age. I would like to
breastfeed our newborn adopted infant because I feel that she
would benefit immunologically and psychosocially from the
experience.
How successful is it to breastfeed an adopted newborn? We
are just beginning the process of open adoption through a local agency and do not anticipate receiving a newborn until
6-12 months. How do birthmothers feel about adoptive mothers
choosing to breastfeed their infants?
Sincerely,
A loving adoptive mother-to-be
