I have one client just returned from China with a baby girl 4-5 mo of age
and another getting ready to go.  There was no indication that the govt. had
any official position on bfg these babies.  The baby who has just returned
was put to breast in the privacy of my client's hotel room.  I just wouldn't
bring it up.  My client told me that the other family she and her husb.
traveled with had been warned by their agency to bring along oral
antibiotics as the babies are so often ill when received.  This was
certainly the case with their child.  She was so sick they had to search for
a hospt. and doctor who could prescribe something.  They described this as
harrowing and confusing given the lang. barriers and all.  So talk to the
pedi here before going and take something along was their best advice.  As
the recent thread on adoptions (see archieves) suggests, the younger the
baby the more likely they will willingly accept the breast.  Its still worth
a try.  I think even expressed human milk in bottle or feeding tube would
help this children's immune systems.
