A case of well-established breastfeeding for a 61-year-old woman after menopause.
During recent years, an increasing number of women who have become pregnant after fertility treatment, including oocyte transplantation, have presented at obstetric departments. A number of these women want to breastfeed their children even though they are postmenopausal. However, whether this is possible has remained doubtful, and any possible special needs in establishing their breastfeeding are not described. The experience of establishing breastfeeding in a postmenopausal woman aged 61 years is reported.
