What a shameless plug Barb ROFL!!!

Well while I'm at it I'll add mine. Vaishali since it sounds like a generic baby thing you might have adoptive families participating. For adoptive breastfeeding the best website is the Adoptive Breastfeeding Resource Website (incl a support group) http://fourfriends.com/abrw/

Best source of information on the process of relactation/induced lactation the WHO booklet http://www.who.int/child-adolescent-health/New_Publications/NUTRITION/WHO_CHS_CAH_98_14.pdf

Best info for mums on breastfeeding of non-newborn adopted babies, in fact almost the only info on working with non-newborns available, ABA Relactation and Adoptive Breastfeeding http://www.mothersdirect.com.au/prod141.htm (OK, that's my shameless plug, I wrote it, no financial interest, but if lots of people buy it you'll make Barb happy!)

It's always worth having info on adoptive breastfeeding because you never know who will be interested or know someone who is, it's often difficult to find info if you are interested and a nice spin off is that lots of women find it really encouraging to hear that it is possible to breastfeed if you have not been pregnant and those who are struggling with their bio baby have expressed in relation to adoptive breastfeeding "if she can do that so can I"
