Dear Jackie
I have had some lesbian couples come through my classes where I've explained
the possibility of dual breastfeeding to them. Some were keen others not at
all. For those who were keen I suggested seeking further info from NMAA.
It would be more difficult for the non-birth mother, of course, especially
if she's never given birth previously, but it might be really worth trying.
How lucky would that baby be ? :-)
warm regards,
Julie

>Does anyone have any tips on establishing lactation for the non birth
mother of a lesbian couple? I have found a few articles for adoptive
breasfeeding and discussed stimulation by pumping and the baby suckling. The
birth mother is going to be home to feed till the end of the year and will
then return to work and the other mother will then take care of the baby. It
is not imperative that she makes all of the milk as she will be able to take
the baby to the workplace of her partner but it would be helpful. I
suggested that she would be able to do a few feeds during the day and then
the birth mother could feed her when she gets home.
