I was induced into labor, and I never produced any breastmilk after I gave birth.

No, it shouldn't effect anything. All 3 of my pregnancies had to have induction drugs because things weren't moving fast enough. I breastfed all 3 and had no issues with my milk not comming in. Its just your body. Some women just don't produce, or produce a small amount. If it bothers you and you want to try breastfeeding for the next baby, then speak to your doctor during the pregnancy and get some things to try.

No induction won't affect breastmilk production. After the baby is born, you do not produce milk for a few days, the first 'milk' you produce is called colostrum and it is a yellowish colour. It also takes a few days to feel like your breasts are full.

Your body's control of milk production and milk ejection differ. It's all about hormones. Your estrogen and progesterone levels have to drop a little after you give birth and prolactin levels have to rise. You also need the sucking action of the baby at your breast to trigger the release of the milk. Maybe your hormones levels are just adjusting or are experiencing some trouble?
