I think that hormone stimulation of milk for an adoptive mother is a bad idea
and it is not appropriate for this month because the process is several
months at least.
I helped a mom who used the protocol. She had side effects that were both
unpleasant and dangerous. Even more troublesome to me was the way her focus
changed from nursing her adopted baby to providing milk for her adopted baby.
And then the transfer of the baby from birth mom - hospital - foster mom -
adoptive family screwed up the hormone protocol.
With this one experience, I have changed to being uncomfortable with this
protocol for all.
