Is it proper/wise or unwise/improper for a "mother" to breast feed a baby that did not come from her womb?
Is it wise or unwise for a "mother" to BF a baby who was IMPLANTED into her, does whether or not the baby is from her OVA(or part of her OVA) or not have a play in the answer to this?
Is there a COMPLETE "SYNTHETIC FLUID" that is available that can be given to babies in place of BREAST MILK? Is it tested? Is it safe?
What TOTAL PLANT BASED "formulas" for babies are available on today's market? Or if nothing is available now, what outlook for the future is there for something in this dept.?

Back in the old days, the nannies breastfed all the children. I've heard of women donating breast milk to other moms who can't for some reason. As long as the donating mother is healthy, and doesn't have HIV or anything, it's safe. The "complete, synthetic fluid" is formula. It's completely safe for babies. I don't know about plant based formulas, though.

I personally think that breast milk is the best. I breast feed my son for the first 3 months exclusively and then supplemented with a formula that contained Lipil which was suppose to be the closest to the real thing at the time. After I started supplementing during the day, I trained my body to only breastfeed in the morning and at night. This lasted until he was about 10 months old. If you need assistants, there are lactation consultants all over the world. You can go to the website www.ilca.org (International Lactation Consultant Association) and they can refer you to a licensed consultant in your area. If you can make it past the first 2 weeks, then it's a breeze or at least is was for me. Good Luck!

Every baby should be entitled to breast milk, even if the baby was a surrogate, or implanted in vitro. The benefits are numerous. Synthetic fluid...yeah formula, it doesn't compare to breast milk. There is soy bases formulas out there.

Human milk is for human babies. If a baby is human, it's wise, natural and normal for a human mother to nurse a human baby, regardless of their genetic connection or lack thereof.
Infant formula can provide nutrition to infants as well, although it is not a complete replacement for human milk. It is tested, and most infants, but not all, will do fine on it. It's hard to tell which ones will have problems with it ahead of time.
There are many soy-based infant formulas on the market today, although none of them are completely free of animal products.

Nature, or God, created Mother's Milk and for the sake of the baby's health that is what the baby should feed on. No other consideration besides the baby's health should enter into the question.

I have a son and breast fed him for about 3 days and then gave up. It's a beautiful thing. If a woman produces breast milk naturally, then she should breast feed. If not, then I don't think a woman should go through a bunch of trouble to try to make her breasts produce milk when they haven't naturally. That's weird. If a woman's breast milk doesn't form naturally after the baby is born, then she should use formula.
