I have been asked to talk with a Lesbian couple who are having a baby. Both women would like to be able to breastfeed the baby. The non-pregnant women has never been pregnant before, and she has asked about herbs to induce lactation as she has heard that she could breasfeed without having been pregnant or given birth. I have worked with a few adoptive couples before and had mixed results, so I'm curious as to how all of you "wise ones" out there in cyberspace would handle this. Would you start her pumping (if so, how far in advance)? or would you let the mother pump extra after feeding the baby so that the partner could feed baby with an SNS. Any one experienced with this situation or had it work?
