Interesting.

And yes, I'm being serious. Since infant adoption has never been a consideration for me (we're thinking 3-5 yrs, but flexible...more about the 'right fit' than age) breastfeeding an adopted infant just wasn't something on my radar. It never ocurred to me that there would be such strong feelings about it, in a negative way, since breast is best for an infant, vs formula. I guess from the non-experienced point of view, I looked at it as just baby getting the best start possible. If its not too intrusive, can I ask why the objection? Is it an emotional issue, or is it that breast milk that's induced isn't actually providing the same nutritional quality as that breast milk that naturally occurs? Like I said, its not something that I've ever looked into, so would welcome the education.

One of the reasons I love coming here, is the opportunity to learn.
