Selvfølgelig ved vi nu, at amning/chestfeeding er muligt for mange forældre, som ikke selv føder deres børn. Det kan være forældre der venter barn via adoption eller rugemoderskab, eller som vil dele amningen af et barn, deres partner har båret og født.

Jeg er en Internationalt Certificeret Ammekonsulent (IBCLC) som har støttet over 40 forældre i processen med at amme uden at have født. Men jeg er også en mor som har ammet min egen adopterede søn.

“ Sally gave me the incredible gift of helping me induce lactation in order to breastfeed our son, who we adopted. She was so caring and encouraging, and her knowledge was priceless through the whole process! Not only did breastfeeding help us create a strong bond but it also provided the best nourishment to help his development.” — Amy
