Breastfeeding the Adopted Child

E-mail

In one of the most interesting paradoxes in adoption, modern science has made it possible for adoptive mothers to breastfeed their babies.  In the early 1930s, infant adoption became possible on a broad scale because of the commercial availability of infant formula, meaning that women could raise infants not born to them without breastfeeding.

While adoptive breastfeeding is a highly personal and often controversial issue, it is one that more and more adoptive families are choosing.
