Nursing the Adopted Child
Originally Posted By Kay
Breastfeeding the adopted child is possible. I am doing it with my 13 week old adopted daughter. You can take herbs Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle. I pumped every 3-4 hours for 8 weeks before she came. There is a great email group on egroups.com called 1absupportgroup just for adoptive moms who want to or are nursing. I also have a web page with resources and links about adoptive nursing. http://www.preciouskids.org/adopt/adoptnursing.html Let me know if I can answer any questions. kay@preciouskids.org
