Hi Janet & Caron,

 

Caron, I assumed you were talking about a way to start lactation w/o

drugs. Was I wrong?

 

Just curious.

There are techniques mentioned in the relactation and adoptive lactation

articles on the Australian Breastfeeding Association website (and elsewhere,

but that's the one I know offhand), that do not involve drugs. Drugs are

suggested as one method, because, as with most things, drugs are touted as

being " more effective " and " faster acting " . It is possible, though, for an

adoptive mother, who has never been pregnant, to breastfeed an infant

without the use of drugs. (Obviously, this is from my reading, not personal

experience, as I'd given birth before I found out about it).
