I had one period since I stopped breastfeeding but I haven't had one since?
You may be pregnant, or your hormones may not be regulated yet.
Why is sexual lactation and attraction to lactating breasts still considered taboo?
In most society's "Attraction to Lactating Breast" Is considered a fetish, as a majority of people don't find it attractive. Most society's don't promote sharing sexual preferences or attraction for that matter.
A more in depth analyses would explain that "Lactation" is considered related to pregnancy which mentally would link to children. And in a lot of social interaction, sexual attraction to children or pregnancy is frowned upon.
Hope that helps!
Breastfeeding what to do when you stop to ease pain?
It is easiest to stop gradually. Drop one nursing session at a time, over a few weeks. You can use cool compresses for swelling and soreness.
Can breast milk go bad if you don't breast feed for a long period of time?
No it wont spoil but the tendency is milk production will lessen then dry out.
Why can you still express clear fluid from your breasts after 6 months of not breast feeding?
because, the glands still function no matter how long after the last feed. or in "sciencey" terms. doni
Yes, you can restart your milk supply. It will take a bit of work and dedication, but it can be done. You will have to get yourself a quality breast pump and commit to using it multiple times a day. It will take a few weeks of pumping to remind your breasts that they should be producing milk. Once your milk is restarted, you can now provide nutrition for your baby. If your child is patient enough, it can help provide the needed nipple stimulation. Instead of giving your baby a bottle when it is hungry, allow it to suckle on your breasts until it becomes too fussy. Not only will this give your breasts the encouragement to lactate, this will also reestablish the bonding breast feeding gives your baby and you.
I would also question why you only had a little breast milk when you were first breast feeding. If you are in good health and are eating a good diet, there should be no problem in producing enough milk for your baby. My guess is that you and your baby were making some small mistakes that could easily be corrected with a little direction from a lactation consultant. Go to your doctor or a local hospital to get a recommendation for a qualified lactation consultant. She is the best person to help you restart your breast milk supply and properly feed and care for your baby.
Most of all, congratulations on taking the right steps to care for the little life in your arms! Your child will thank you the rest of its life for doing the very BrEaST.

I would seriously start using something herbal to increase breastmilk production. Breastea works great.
Can a man suck a woman's breast an d make her start lactating if she is not pregnant?
Lactation, or milk production, is generally caused by the production of hormones (prolactin), not by manual or sexual stimulation. There are a few exceptions wherein a woman can produce milk when she is not pregnant, but again, these cases are usually hormone- or pituitary-related.
Is there a shot or pills a woman can take to produce milk?
If you are already breastfeeding and looking to increase your supply there is a herbal pill by MotherLove that will increase it. They also make drops. I'm not sure if they sell them in any stores but you can go to motherlove.com
You were breastfeeding and had no period now you are pregnant how far along are you?
Could be a range of time... Best way to find out is to go to the doctor and get checked.
no, it's very usual my husband daily do it and i never discomfort although enjoying very much.
Even when you have your tubes tied and burnt you can get pregnant as your body heals itself it doesn't happen with everybody but it has happened before. And you can start producing breast milk as early as 2 months or as late as 9 months

Can breastfeeding mother can take verorab?
The company making it recommends that you speak to your doctor about it but it can be taken while breastfeeding.
Hi, This is most likely caused by a milk duct infection or by too much progesterone. You need to see your doctor for a blood test and breast exam. It is most likely nothing to worry about though as many women never completely dry up after having a child.
If a woman has breast milk in her breast and she has not given birth what does that mean?
Nothing to worry about. Depends on your diet and medications you take. Some anti-depressants also help this process.
Sucking of nipples during love-making can also stimulate the glands by increasing blood flow.
Can breast milk from another mother be given to a baby whose mother is sick?
Certainly! Up until our recent modern times, this was a common practice. As along as the mother giving the baby breast milk is healthy, one mother giving her milk to another child, presents no problem. While of course the best nutritional value comes from the baby's mother as her milk will naturally change as the baby's needs change, any breast milk is better than formula.
How much do you tip a milk man?
The milkman provides a service weekly, rain, snow etc and is not a federal govt worker so you should tip them. Question: do you tip food delivery service to your home? I do, usually $3 each time they deliver. You should figure out a percentage to tip them weekly per your usual standing order: for example, if you only get 2 bottles a week, your tip should be less than someone who gets 10 bottles a week. 10% for mediocre service, you have to call and get your order corrected with up to 20% of your annual bill for excellent service. Or figure the weekly amount you would tip a food delivery service. In our area, our milkman delivers at night so these guys are out in cold/snowy weather at night bringing something directly to our door--they deserve to be tipped just like any other food delivery service
Is it safe to eat oysters while breastfeeding?
After giving birth to my first child, (which I breastfed) my midwife said I can go back to eating everything I did before I got pregnant just don't go mad with the booze!!
