The recommended pumps are the Medela Pump in Style and the Limerick PJ jr. I have seen them both on Ebay. How old is your baby? There are ways to get him back on the breast, especially once you have milk there. You could also try using a supplemental nurser like the lact-aid. You can do that now and a board certified LC could help you get him latched with that. The website for lact-aid is www.lact-aid.com I have a protocol Lenore gave me for transitioning to breast slowly. If you give me your email I will send it to you.

I really want to feed my milk to him for religious purposes I wish I had known about the induce lactation before so I would have started it earlier and I coud've given him my milk longer now I can only give my milk till he turns two. So I basically have 4 months. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Love without any expectations is the Love that is free of pain.

You can feed him your milk as long as you want Adoptive mommy to 4 , Last 2 adopted nursed. Youngest nursed till she was 5! Raising 2 grandbabies, as infants they were raised on donor breast milk
