Two questions.
I wonder if hypnosis has ever been studied as a way to increase milk production. I once read an article about a man who induced lactation and then involution by hypnosis. If it could work for a man, it might be of help to a post-partum woman.
This question was posed by a client. She is aware that breastfeeding burns 500 calories a day (I'm not entirely convinced that moms need an extra 500 calories, though, but that's just me.), and she is currently producing about 1/2 of her baby's needs. Would she then be burning 250 calories to produce this milk? I wonder if it might be more because of the effort she is putting in to increase production and maintenance.
Thanks,
Julie Tardos
