Congratulations on two counts. First that you have chosen to adopt and will be soon caring for a young life. Second that you have decided to care for that little one in the very best way. As you know, breastfeeding is the best possible way to feed your baby.
The most important element in inducing lactation is your positive attitude about nursing your child. If you keep that attitude, you will be able to successfully breast feed. In preparing for the arrival of the baby, nipple stimulation is the key. And this means LOTS of nipple stimulation. The best source is a quality breast pump. Use a hospital grade double pump 6 times a day with pumping sessions 20 minutes each time. I know this sounds like a lot but your baby will thank you in the end.
Your doctor can prescribe a drug regimen that may aid in starting your milk supply. You do need to carefully discuss the timing of the arrival of your baby with your doctor so that the baby will be subject to picking up hormones from the drugs when nursing. Of course the other person to stay in close contact with is your lactation consultant. She will be there to give you encouragement and counsel so that your baby willl end up with the very BrEaST.

Can 40years old woman produce breastmilk?
No, lactation is not age dependent. Even women who have moved into menopause can induce lactation. The hormones responsible for starting lactation are different than those involved in menstruation.
What will progestrone do to your breast you are a male wanting to become female?
Enlarge them, almost of an surety and possibly induce lactation
Can really young girls who havent started puberty induce lactation?
no, your body isn't mature enough and lacks the hormones needed to do that.
How can there be lactation when you were never pregnant?
In these situations it's mental. The mind is a powerful thing. If a particularly strong maternal urge arises it can cause lactation. These are often common in women who have had abortions. You can induce lactation when you have never been pregnant. Some mothers who adopt do this so that they can breast feed. There are articles on induced lactation, google for them.
What herbs can you use to produce breast milk?
Do a search for the word galactogogue. It will list the herbs/medications that help to induce lactation.
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.
You are a man and you want to be able to lactate so how do you induce lactation?
Pregnancy naturally stimulates the breasts to lactate. If you are wanting to lactate even though you are not pregnant, you must go through an induced lactation protocol. Lenore Goldfarb along with Dr. Jack Newman created this protocol. Here is the link. www.asklenore.com debbie@TheNewBornBaby.com
Which hormone used for lactation in sterile cow?
The hormone used for lactation in cows, including sterile ones, is prolactin. Prolactin stimulates milk production in the mammary glands. In cases where a cow is sterile and cannot naturally lactate, exogenous administration of prolactin or other hormones like oxytocin may be used to induce lactation. However, successful milk production in sterile cows can be challenging and may not be sustainable.
What effect does honey and lemon have on lactation?
Honey and lemon does not have any affect on lactation. It will not stop lactation, increase lactation or anything else.
Does prolong administration of regestrone 5mg lead to lactation?
Regestrone, which contains the hormone norethisterone, is primarily used for managing menstrual disorders and does not typically induce lactation. Prolonged administration can affect hormone levels, but it is not generally associated with stimulating milk production. If lactation occurs during its use, it might be due to other factors rather than the medication itself. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding medication and its effects.
