Welcome!

Everyone is a candidate! Milk is produced from the stimulation of the mammary glands. Medications are out there to help (Domperidone has very low rate of side effects that are very minor) and herbs. The milk produced from induction is the same as milk produced when a baby is about 10 days old. In other words...we just don't produce colostrum.

I breastfed our son who is 3.5 years old and plan to breastfeed our new baby also. If you have more questions, please ask away!
