Even if you adopt you can breastfeed
Feb 16 '00 (Updated Feb 18 '00)
I have 4 children from the ages of 4-25 and yes I breast fed all of them at lease one week. With my first I didn't seem to have enough milk and with constant stream of your starving that child, from my MIL (she milked like a cow) I quit after one week. I regretted that (he's 25 now) so with my second one I was going to BF one way or the other. I did for 9 months and it was not easy I fed every two hrs, in fact my parents bought me a dishwasher so that I could take more time with the baby (he's 23 now). We have more of a closeness that I don't have with my older one. I love them both with all my heart but there is just something else there.
When my husband and I later decided to have more (16 yrs) I was so determined to BF that I talked with everyone and their brother because I had heard of a new gadget that even a adoptive mother could BF and I wanted that. When I talked with my Doctor and told him about how I really wanted to make sure I could BF but my supply may not be good enough, he put me in touch with a Group at Children Hospital in Kansas City.
This is where I was given the item that had a bottle on one end with a bubble and a very tiny tube coming from the other end. You filled the bottle up with formula and turn upside down and the tube was put in the babies mouth at the same time as the nipple. Wa LA: baby is fed not only breast milk but now I knew she was getting enough. The baby is continuing to stimulate the milk supply so the breast are still producing milk.
With this item you could BF an infant even if the baby was adopted. The bonding and closeness that goes on between a mother and child while snuggled to the breast is just to wonderful for words. I stress to any mother who is afraid they don't have enough milk or a mother who is going to adopt, Get this item and you will be so rewarded with the bonding you will have with your child.
In my quest for answers on this I found that very few Doctors were aware of this item, so ladies inform your friends.If anyone is interested in this item please email me and I will help you find it. blondie@nstar.net
I had to update this because I had forgotten the best part. When adoptive mothers use this item and the breast are stimulated sometimes their breast will start producing milk. I'm not saying they would start milking like a cow but they might have some production. If anyone out there tries this PLEASE email me and let me know how you do.
To all the BF mothers out there lets rally together and let mothers who don't think they can BF, know about this. So they can have that bonding with their children.
