breastfeeding an adoptive baby
Originally Posted By kathy

I nursed my last two babies, and want to nurse my adopted baby also. Is it really possible to do so? She is due in June, if all goes well. When should I start to "ready" my breasts and nipples, if it is at all possible? Also, I have heard about nipple manipulation --- what exactly is that? All suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks,
Kath

Re: breastfeeding an adoptive baby
Yes it is VERY possible to breastfeed your new baby. As you have already breastfed before, you should have no problems. (Hopefully) I would discuss with your doctor your desire to breastfeed and there are some books out on breastfeeding and adoption. Best of Luck to you.
