I would be curious to know if in fact they would approve something like that as this is the first time I have heard a foster mom make such a request. I think it would be great if it were allowed because I am of the school of "breast is best" and encourage breastmilk whenever ppssible. I also see nothing wrong with amoms breast feeding. The only possible problem I see with a foster mom breast feeding is the bond it creates and what happens when baby is moved?

Besides all the logistical concerns of doing this, I would like to say, that my almost 5 month old fc couldn't be more bonded to me, I don't think it creates "more" of a bond.

I also don't believe I have less of a bond with my mother because I wasn't breast fed.

I am sorry if I misunderstood your implications, but I sure hope that I misunderstood.
