Breastfeeding an older toddler with R.A.D.
Melissa's mom
I see that you posted you question 3 years ago and I am wondering what you decided to do with your daughter did you ever breastfeed?
I am in the beginning stages of adopting a 5 and 3 year old. The 3 year old like your daughter is very delayed he is not talking yet nor does he function like most 3 year olds mentally I have been told he is about 12-18 months. I have been very courious about the benifits of breastfeeding him as well. Not only would it help us bond, he is a textbook (if there is such a thing) R.A.D. child, but if I can produce any breastmilk (it has been 8 years since i last breastfeed) the positive aspects that breastmilk will give. (he is allergic to dairy products)
Does anyone have an insite to this..Is it even possible to get him to latch on?
