their life. But for many infants adopted by childless mothers, this appears impossible as the breasts of many of the mothers cannot produce the milk the babies can suck. Checks revealed that many of such women who cherish feeding the babies with breast milk often have to contract the job to someone else while some others resort to artificial formula, oblivious of the inherent health hazards.
Charles’s mother is not alone in her depressing experience. Findings showed that hordes of childless women have the same unpleasant experience after adopting babies. Many of them are subjects of abuses and unbridled insults from members of the public who expect them to breastfeed their crying babies.
“When I saw that the embarrassment was becoming unbearable, we moved to another area where we were not known.” Another adoptive mother, Esther, said she and her husband arranged for another woman to breastfeed the baby after they adopted him. “I know the importance of breastfeeding. What I did was to make sure that the person that helped to do the breastfeeding is a trusted family friend. The baby is grown and doing well now,” she said.
Corroborating Malomo, a pediatrician, Dr. Titi Adesanmi, said it is medically possible for adoptive women to breastfeed their adopted babies, but she gave five reasons why most of them are not able to do so. Another reason why a woman may have a challenge breastfeeding, Dr. Adesanmi said, is psychological and emotional factors. “If a woman herself psychologically and emotionally feels that she will not be able to do it, no matter how hard you try, as long as in herself she believes she can’t do it, it won’t work. The body senses it and responds to that and she will just find that she is not able to produce milk.
The fifth reason, according to her, could also be poor posturing of baby- the way the mother puts the baby to the breast. “If she puts the baby to the breast in a wrong way, it will cause her a lot of pain when the baby tries to suck. That pain itself is a form of stress. That pain will send a message to the brain: ‘Make sure you don’t produce any milk, because if you do, this pain will continue. If you don’t produce any milk, the baby will stop sucking and the pain would stop.
“For some of them, it is emotional stress. They love to breastfeed and when they are not able to do so, they feel unhappy about it, which worsens the vicious cycle.
