Hello! I'm hoping that someone might be able to point me towards some information / references on using hormone therapy to assist in inducing lactation. I have a mother who is expecting a baby through a surrogate, due in Jan. Since she still has 5 months time, she was interested in the possibility of using estrogen/ progesterone in a manner that would mimic pregnancy, followed by pumping in the final days? weeks? before the baby was born to try to build up as much of a supply as possible. This idea is based largely on Dr. Newman's info on induced lactation, but in the book it mentions that he had only used this on one mother at the time writing. Does anyone have any further experience with this? Or could you point me towards another resource? The other wrinkle in this equation is that the mother is highly reluctant to try Domperidone or Reglan -- she realizes that this may be irrational, but she feels strongly about it at the moment.
