Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Baby due in less than 4 weeks - advice

Hi,
We had a call 3 weeks ago that we had been matched with a baby due in 3 weeks (today). I hadn't started the protocol (was just researching it) so after talking to a LC I decided to start dom, herbs and pumping. Have been doing this for almost 3 weeks now and I'm getting about 1/2 oz per day. Now just yesterday we found out that the due has been moved back to Nov 10 - 3 1/2 weeks away. So now I'm wondering if I would be better to go on the bcp for 30 days, knowing that the baby could come early and I would have to supplement completely at first. Or if I should keep on with the dom and pumping for the extra 3 1/2 weeks hoping that my supply increases by the time the baby comes. Any advice?
Thanks!

Mad Town Mama. Has your supply increased much at all? How often are you pumping and which pump are you using? How much dom? how much herbs? I think doing the protocol will get you better results and if I had it to do over again, I personally would start off with the protocol even if it meant I had to use a lact-aid (supplementing) for awhile to give my milk time to come in.

if your supply is not increasing much.. I would suggest doing the protocol for 30 days.
