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.
