Need insight into breastfeeding an older toddler
Hi all,
I don't know if I am posting in the correct forum. We have adopted a toddler who has issues with RAD. She is developmentally delayed as well. We are her second adoptive family. My question: She is physically aged 3, but appears much younger ; developmentally she is age 24-29 months. She has never had an attachment. Nursing forms a bond and attachment with mother's and children. I nursed my other children until they were ready to wean, one nursed until age 3, the other until age 5. In the privacy of our own home after they reached age 2. My question: Would it help our daughter to feel secure and help her walk forward to forming an attachement through nursing her, even if it would be just before she goes down for a nap or bed at night. Is it possible to teach her to nurse with a sns? All insight is welcome. My goal is to gather insight and make an informed descision for our family, but not to get into a debate. Thank you in advance for your insight. Nicole's mom |
