Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Three weeks tomorrow - I don't see much

I am on 110 mg per day. I have tried a warm cloth too. One day when I put the warm cloth on, I had a stream come out of the right breast......I was excited. But since then I am not getting anything. If I lean right over upside down I will get a few drops. But that is all. All around my right breast is hard.....
What is compressing? I am using the pump and that is all. Perhaps I can try some hand expressing, I am not very knowledgable about this, I was only shown one time.

You can put in 'breast compression' in the search, it will give you the info.
Although it speak of when you are BF your baby, this also works while pumping.
I wonder if you are not getting a strong let down response. Your breast being hard doesn't sound good.... Why not write Lenore directly? She is a wonderful person with much experience.

good luck!

I agree, write to Lenore. Breast compression worked well for me while pumping. Definitely search that out as well.

how long again were you on the protocol? You might need to go back on the protocol a bit longer

Sandkov, how is it going? Are you still pumping? Do you have the twins yet? Just wanted to offer some encouragement. Jenny
