Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Crying babies for milk flow

I have seen several members here post that they look at pictures of crying babies to help stimulate milk flow while pumping. I was wondering if actual sounds of babies crying would help too. I have found a few videos on You Tube of actual babies crying and thought that maybe if I played them during pumping that would help as well.

I would say yes, definitely. It helped me tremendously to get my milk started the first time that our baby was with us already (a stork drop situation). It took much longer to get started the second time while we were matched and waiting for the baby to be born. A cry can help to stimulate a let down response.
