Hi
I thought this was intersting, Im also going to try and reconnect with the ANR group though I havent had much luck meeting anyone through there. Ive never really tried to get a group together through my blog but I thouhgt Id give it a go now.
Im hopefully going to see the gyno this weekend to get my hormone injection to help me milk sooner fingers crossed.
ive added a couple of photos as I love breast and breastfeeding photos dont you.
If anyone can add info or inspiring pics to my blog please do. Or your experience of breastfeeding?
INFO BIT:-
Hormonal therapy to induce lactation generally consists of administration of estrogen to simulate the high-estrogen state of pregnancy. The estrogen is then abruptly withdrawn to mimic the rapid hormonal changes following delivery. A course of a prolactin-enhancing drug such as metaclopromide (Reglan.) is then instituted. Sucking stimulation (with a pump or by baby) is begun at this point.
Milk production typically begins between 1-4 weeks after initiating mechanical stimulation. One study of induced lactation using medications describes onset of milk production between 5-13 days. (2) This is similar to case reports of inductions using only nipple stimulation. At first, the mother may see only drops. During the time that milk production is building, women may notice changes in the color of the nipples and areolar tissue. Breasts may become tender and fuller. Some women report increased thirst, and changes in their menstrual cycle or libido.

The thirst is important. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Milk is liquid because of water, dehydration will only hinder your efforts.
I'd love a relationship like that
Hi Cheshire Kat just came across your blog and realise it's really old now but if you still on this journey would love to chat as I'm just starting out on the induced lactation road myself x
I really like your picks of man and woman! They are classy and loving in context!
