I am beginning to consider adoption myself (the reason I hesitate is that I have no husband and would be single-parenting) and planned to induce lactation if I ever took a child into my house (I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and wouldn't envision any other option) .

Mine is just beginning. Our baby is due is April and I started inducing lactation a few months ago. Things are progressing nicely but too slowly for this impatient woman. As you know this is an exciting and scary time. Can't wait to have that baby in my arms God has blessed us abundantly.

It means so much!!!<br /><br />April<br /><br />With my two "homeade" boys I often only nursed on one side. It is really just an issue of trying to build supply to the point that, hopefully, we can get rid of the Lact-aid supplemental feeding. If you only nurse on one side, than each breast only gets the nursing Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182205871165082208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250470367024426760.post-52659541910677578702010-12-15T00:45:28.405-05:002010-12-15T00:45:28.405-05:00God Bless you!

The longer they stay on one, the richer the milk gets. My last only nursed on one side per feeding & never had a problem with not getting enough. But I don't know if it is different with induced lactation. Maybe you are doing it for a reason.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173511724109949682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250470367024426760.post-60428804689034633482010-12-14T20:25:29.310-05:002010-12-14T20:25:29.310-05:00I am so proud of you too!
