To: Rose Marie Straeter <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Adoption Rose Marie, It generally takes 6-8 weeks to begin milk production when using a breast pump. Sounds like this mother is beginning production. I would strongly recommend the use of a breastpump to give additional stimulation as well as to provide her with reassurance that she is producing. When mother's use any supplementer at breast their chances of success are only increased with the frequency that they pump.
