[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are almost finished with our home study (yay!) and would appreciate any advice from other adoptive parents.

Anyone have experience with comfort nursing (also have seen it called dry nursing) an adopted newborn? For personal medical reasons I am not comfortable with taking hormones for lactation, but am interested in experiences with comfort nursing. From what I have read, others used it in the evening before bed after a bottle or when baby is fussy and not necessarily hungry (hoping to avoid frustration on baby's end of nursing without receiving food if baby is hungry) and to use it as a bonding tool (we are planning on skin-to-skin as well).

Also would appreciate recommendations for newborn parenting classes. Has anyone found one geared towards adoptive parents?

Thanks in advance! [/quote]
YAY, congratulations, how exciting!  We also adopted 2 newborns (at separate times).  Sorry, I don't have any experience with comfort nursing, I did not know anything about it.  I chose not to do hormones for lactation because it seemed like it would be too stressful and really our first adoption was a surprise/whirlwind kind of thing and there was no time to think about anything except the nonessentials.  All this to say, that my kids are 8 & 10 and fully bonded to us.  Good luck![/quote]
