My husband and I are adopting a newborn, at my physical my doctor mentioned it would be possible for me to breastfeed and I started pumping and taking some natural supplements that she suggested.
I now have a full milk supply, the baby is due in 2 weeks and I have had a lot of negative feedback from family and friends about it being innapropriate to breastfeed a child that isn't biologically yours. One friend even said it's like child molestation. My reasons for wanting to do it were to develop a closer bond, give him the health benefits, and of course it's very cost effective as a bonus. But now I'm doubting my desicion. They could just be ignorant, but do you think it's innapropriate?
