Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Decision for now

My wonderful hubby and I have reached a decision in reagards to my pumping. After talking and praying about our adoption this weekend we have decided that I should pump for a while. My hubby suggested pumping until January then accesing the situation again.

We both feel that an adoption for us in the near future. With each day I feel that we are getting closer to having our baby come home to us.

Another message board that I am on someone said that domperidone is now FDA approved here in the US. Did any of you hear of this?

Nona would I be able to donate a set number of bags to free up freezer space. As of this point I do not want to donate on a continual basis. I want to see what the next few months pan out in regards to a baby. Also I do not want to donate all that's in my freezer because I am not sure if I will acheive a full supply. I am averaging 15 - 17 1/2 ozs. a day so I may need what's in the freezer. I do think though that I would feel good knowing that a baby out there was getting some of my milk.

Thanks all,
Bella

Bella,
Yes you would be able to donate a set amount. If you have about 300 ounces that can be shipped. If its a smaller amount I can look for someone in your state who can drive to pick it up.. Let me know. Your pumping a fantastic amount!

Wow, well done for pumping so well and so much <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> I hope I can succeed with pumping one day, too! I wish you continuous good health and the ability to continue to pump until your baby comes!

Love
