We had a similar situation but the surrogate mother actually breastfed in the hospital and than pumped and shipped milk for about 3 months I believe. It was interesting because both moms  were  there in the hospital room together.

Does anyone have information about surrogates pumping for the baby they give
birth to?  Induced lactation will not be an option due to prior breast
cancer in the bio mother.  I doubt wet-nursing will appeal to the bio
parents, but I will mention it.  I suppose the process would be similar to
expressing/pumping for a baby in the nicu, but (if all goes well) the infant
will be full-term and healthy.  Hand expression would be best for collection
of colostrum, right?

Any information or wisdom appreciated!!!
