Has anyone induced lactation for a toddler?

You know I'm here for you!

It's not weird it totally rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Newman has two different protocols for induced lactation detailed in his book, and I presume, on his new FANTABULOUS website, www.drjacknewman.com. I presume you know his work but just in case you haven't seen his website wanted to respond. Also - I have emailed him with questions and he's responded. In detail, within 24 hours. I don't think he sleeps. I just mention this because his induced lactation protocols seem to be The Thing these days...

Congrats on your adoption and your little guy is so lucky! Your post brought tears to my eyes. Wow, so amazing!

I agree, your little guy is sooooo lucky to have you!

I had to stop BF'ing my little guy due to a medication issue that I had to be on, and once I finally was able to be off the meds, I looked into relacating. Unfortunately I was living in a very remote area and had no way of getting a pump, but I did talk to a LC who said for me the fastest way to get my milk flowing was to take Motilium/Domperidone and just try and get him to nurse nurse nurse as much as I could. By that time he was almost a year old and had no interest in nursing, so it didn't work. But now you've got me thinking since I am back in the city and able to get a pump and motilium, I might just start trying to relactate again just to give him and DD the BM in a sippy cup! (this is why I love MDC, every time I come on here I am inspired with ideas to be a better mom )

Anyways, I wasn't here at all to post about how relacating didn't work for me (it would have had I been given access to a pump), but wanted to let you know what the LC said to me about Motilium/Domperidone as the fastest way to get your milk supply up and running. I know you can't get it in the states, but I have seen other posts about MDC mamma's getting it from Canada via the mail.

HTH and all the best of luck to you, I'm sure you'll be relactating in no time! Keep us posted if you can!
