Abstract:
Six Nigerian women aged from 22 to 56 years who had not recently been pregnant were successfully relactated by breast suckling alone. All of them produced enough milk to exclusively breastfeed 'motherless' infants. All except one child have continued to breastfeed up to the time of this report and show adequate growth.
