Natural or aided: Breast milk production is brought about by an interplay of hormonal signals that converge at the end of pregnancy. Initially the baby suckles & receives colostrum & after 1-4 days a fuller milk volume begins to flow. Consult a lactation nurse for technical help.Lactation has occasionally been possible for adoptive moms with the aid of a hormonal triggers, consult your OB if needed.
