Answer 1

The breast is ordinarily prepared for lactation during pregnancy under the influence of estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, and other hormones. The ductal system proliferates and differentiates and the lobes, lobules, and alveoli increase in size (Riordan 2004). Without pregnancy, the same breast changes can be achieved through nipple stimulation, which causes the secretion of prolactin (Kolodny et al.), growth of secretory alveoli, and production of milk (WHO 1998).

Once milk secretion begins, removing milk causes more milk to be made (WHO 1998). It is a normal, natural process for the breast to produce milk in response to a baby suckling. Thus, weaning need not be permanent and babies unable to be cared for by their biological mother can be breastfed by their adoptive mother.

Adoptive mothers may be able to induce lactation by using a breast pump every 2-3 hours, either before the baby comes or after. Some also use a device such as the Medela Supplemental Nursing System or the Lact-Aid Nurser Training System. These both enable you to feed your baby while he is at your breast. This way, your baby gets enough milk while stimulating your body to produce your own milk. The key to all this is that the more stimulation your breasts receive, either by pump or baby, the more likely milk will be produced.

Answer 2

You should see a professional about your lactation problems, besides that I use to drink MOther's Milk Tea which contains Fenugreek/fennel in it, it was great and did help me.
Also, about keep your breasts healthy, red raspberry tea or pills help as well. Stay away from too much soy.

Answer 3
