Anyone who has BF without meds. I am thinking about BF without taking any meds. Any suggestion what is the best route.. I see lots of people used Lactaction Aid.. Any advice please...

You can, but I don't personally know anyone that has gotten much milk that way.

I think you are meaning SNS (supplimental Nursing Systems). I have known Amoms who have used them both with formula and expressed Breast milk. I think they are a wonderful alternative for a mom who chooses not to take medication to induce lactation.
They are great in fostering the bond between mother and baby.
I have also known of moms who used them when they have not had enough of a milk supply. Either way, taking a baby to breast is one of the most natural things. I am not against bottle feeding, but if you can breast feed of supplimental breast feed I say go for it, if only for a little while. It is such a wonderful bonding experience. I know I sound repetitive but I am a big advocate of BFing whenever possible both for bonding and the values of breastmilk..
Try it, if anything you can always go to bottles if it don't work out.

Yes Ez2luv,


I was talking about SNS.. I am ok if I can produce the milk or not but I want the bonding. Most people says is the most amazing expience you can have with your child. I think I am late for the meds and stuff.

Asante,
Why do you think you are late with the meds? Even if you don't take the BCP (I didn't!) you can still take the other meds that help...that is what I did and got a full supply!
