Abstract:
An experience in non-puerperal lactation, specifically induced for nutritional rehabilitation of a malnourished motherless male infant, is presented from a Fulani culture in northern Nigeria where the usual cultural practice is to feed such infants with raw cow's milk. The value of non-puerperal lactation in nutritional rehabilitation of motherless infants is highlighted and the role of adequate psychological preparation and support in successful relactation is emphasised.
