Breastfeeding Question Posted: 06-22-08 21:31pm
Hi I am sorry if I am posting this in a
bad spot but I was just curious... I have
a 9 1/2 month old son and I was on
cafemom.com and a woman was talking about
how the latest you can START breatfeeding
is 6-8 months. START??? What? Is this
false info because I have never heard of
that... I am sorry if this is a stupid
question

I've never heard that before either i
guess it depends really on the person.
When my mum stopped breastfeeding my
sister at 4 months she said her milk took
until my sister was one to stop completly
but when she had me she didn't breastfeed
me at all and after her milk came in it
only took 3-4 weeks to stop producing.

Even adoptive mothers can begin to nurse
their children. All it takes is consistent
suckling and a woman's breast will begin
to make milk - whether they've been
pregnant or not.

Oh wow I have heard of adoptive mothers
breastfeeding and I never knew that it
could actually be done. That's neat I
thought they had to take a pill or
something. Just being curious. Thanx for
the replies
