Are there success stories of women who have induced lactation WITHOUT use of
hormones?

Women have been inducing and reinducing lactation without hormones or
galactagogues for millennia.  I worked with women in Burma (some of whom
were grandmothers and well beyond their own fertile years) who brought in a
fulsome milk supply by simply putting a baby to the breast frequently (we're
talking 1-2 hourly at least) throughout the day and bedsharing at night
(when baby suckled most of the night).  Babies were cup fed infant formula
between 6 and 8 times a day.  Always after a breastfeed.
Inducing lactation is not as difficult as many in the west would have us
believe.  Put the baby to the breast and the milk will come.
