Can A Woman Who Has Never Had A Child Breast Feed An Adopted Baby?

0

No. The only way you can breast feed a baby – even if it’s not yours – is to have just had a baby yourself. Your body spends 9 months being pregnant preparing for a baby to come – meaning you get high levels of hormones that produce Breast Milk. When the baby is born you can feed it straight away but it takes a few hours or so for a good amount of milk to “come in” properly to the breast. It is impossible to feed a baby Breast Milk if you have not just had a baby yourself. The female body doesn’t produce breast milk all the time. Only after a pregnancy. The best option for an adopted baby would be baby Formula.
