Im watching a program on really about breastfeeding. It's mainly about extended bfing, a subject I find quite fascinating, but also features a woman who has extended bf her biological child and is now adopting a Chinese baby girl.
She wants to start bfing her adoptive child who looks to be between 6 months and a year old at the point of adoption.
I know it's none of my business what they do and i don't feel judgemental towards her. However I was quite shocked to hear of her plans, I've never heard of someone doing this before.
I am genuinely curious to hear others opinions on starting breastfeeding with an adoptive child. Does the age of the child make a difference? For information the child has been fed formula up until this point and the adoptive mother is attempting bfing her as soon as the adoption goes ahead.
