About this document
Co-feeding (also known as co-lactation) is when more than one person bodyfeeds an infant. Co-feeding may occur after pregnancy, surrogacy, or adoption. It may involve one or more people being pregnant or inducing lactation. Co-feeding provides your baby with immunity benefits from multiple people and allows families to provide each other with practical feeding support.
