Given the benefits you have read about breast-feeding, does it make sense to breast-feed a child recently adopted from overseas, even if the child is over 6 months of age?
What will be an ideal response?
It might. An infant from overseas has not been exposed to the diseases and illnesses where you live. Breast milk may aid in strengthening their immune system. It also may help contribute to long-term health benefits. However, it probably will not help with cognitive functioning or staving off obesity, since the baby is already a bit older.
