My sweet Tess will be a little over 5 months old when we get to Ethiopia. She was breastfed by her Ethiopian mommy for the first 5 weeks or so of her life. She is now either being cup-fed or bottle fed (not sure). My questions
1. should I attempt to put her to breast in Ethiopia or wait until I get home?
2. How do I go about getting her to latch? (not the latch specifics...I mean how do I encourage her to want to nurse?)any suggestions to gently do this without stressing her or me out would be appreciated. What are the realistic expectations that she might actually latch to breast and nurse at such an age?
