Lenore and Dr. Jack Newman have developed an entire protocol for induced 
lactation
Hopefully the website will give you some helpful information.

Best of luck!!!

Subject: induced lactation


> Good morning all,
> I was contacted yesterday by a mother who will be adopting her sisters 
> baby (due end Sept) and wishes to breastfeed it from birth.  She has two 
> biological children of her own (youngest is 3), both of which were 
> breastfed for almost one year.  She describes an ample supply each time. 
> She also had a miscarriage at 11 weeks about 2-3 months ago.  I have 
> started looking into induced lactation for her, and have some questions as 
> a result of this.  Would she need to mimic a pregnancy first,ie with 
> hormones, or would nipple stimulation +/- galactagogues be all that is 
> necessary to stimulate milk production? Would the use of hormones ensure a 
> full supply?  Which path do we take?
> Due to a lot of social issues, she is determined to give this baby the 
> best start she can.  It was her partner that suggested she try and 
> breastfeed this baby (great support).  She also has a very supportive GP

> Can some one give me some ideas on where we should begin in this 
> situation.  I have searched the archives, but get a lot of quite old Q & 
> A's.  Websites have been great, but it is the question of hormones vs 
> stimulation that I'm unclear on.
