There was discussion back in August about bottle babies going to the breast. Here in Germany is a BF fanatic who sets an ex. for all, but for most she is just a fanatic. She bf her first 2 adopted babies with the help of the the NS. The closeness is what she values most. Then along came the 3rd child - a 10 mo. old foster child with all sorts of disturbances. In 2 months this child was also at the breast. The mother felt this necessary to help him overcome his trauma. Her report has been published in our LC journal. Thanks for listening!
