Re: Kathy Dettwyler's segment from her chapter. Might I add that instead of including adoptive mothers as one group who bottle-feeds that we note a time when we can imagine all adoptive mothers being informed of the benefits and how-to's of induced lactation in order to allow them to make an informed choice? Having worked with many hundreds of such mothers, I do NOT see adoption as an automatic bottle-feeding experience.
