The only really helpful book of its kind out there.

This is an excellent book that covers many different areas of breastfeeding the adopted baby. Although I have decided not to do so, this book would really help someone who chooses to breastfeed. It would even be a good book for anyone that is having trouble breastfeeding their biological child. It does seem a little repetitive and disorganized, but that is minor compared with the fact that it is a much-needed resource!

Excellent book! Best I was able to find!

As an adoptive parent who nursed her newborn, I have looked everywhere for any information on it. I was sorely disappointed in the lack of information and support that I was able to find on adoptive breastfeeding...until I got this book. As a childbirth educator and doula, I do volenteer work for a shelter in which I deal with adoption quite a lot...I recommend this book whenever I work with an adoptive parent wanting to nurse her baby. This is the best book on adoptive breastfeeding that I am aware of. --Stephanie Soderblom CD(DONA) ICD
