There are certainly valid medical reasons why a mother who is capable of doing so should do so, in general.

However, in specific cases, there may be even more compelling medical reasons why she should not.

The best course is to listen to your physician's advice (and not to that of your wacko relative, friend, neighbor or co-worker with an axe to grind on the subject one way or the other).

Can a 36-year-old breastfeed?

Certainly! If the 36 year old woman is pregnant and is healthy then being able to successfully nurse her child would be fully expected and quite the norm. If the woman is adopting a baby she can induce lactation and at the very least be able to breastfeed with supplements. I personally have a friend who recently adopted a baby and prepared for the arrival of the baby by inducing lactation and is now currently breastfeeding her child. She is also in her mid thirties. And no, she had not given birth prior to the adoption. So with the right attitude, a little work and of course good counsel from a lactation expert a woman of most any age can breastfeed.
