She is a holistic nutritionist so using medicines aside from herbs were not an option for her personal philosophy. She began pumping a few months before the baby arrived with the help of a few LC's and tried to get her to latch and feed with an SNS usin donor milk. She gave up when the baby was a few weeks old without success. </p> <p>If you would consider donor milk, which I know isn't the same emotionally as breastfeeding but would be an option for you to provide breastmilk, she had good luck with getting some through our local Human Milk for Human Babies and Eats on Feets Facebook groups. Their adopted DD was EBF for over 6 months this was with intermittent breastmilk to a year and the rest the used a homemade formula for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induced-lactation#post-680658 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:24:23 +0000 loveletter 680658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You may want to check out this thread I started about this awhile back: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-an-adopted-baby" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-an-adopted-baby</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induced-lactation#post-680623 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:47:32 +0000 loveisstrange 680623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried after quitting breastfeeding. For me, it was a giant PITA and was never very successful. I only produced about 5oz a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induced-lactation#post-680621 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:46:42 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 680621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A close friend of mine did this and produced enough to breastfeed about three times a day for eight months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induced-lactation#post-680602 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:27:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 680602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you read my blog post on it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/induced-lactation#post-680594 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:20:52 +0000 BSB 680594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in a crazy reseach everything about adoption phase this weekend.</p> <p>Anyone induce lactation so you can breastfeed your adopted child?</p> <p>Or do you know anyone who did?</p> <p>I'm curious about it.</p> <p>Are there any pros/cons? </p>
