She is a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, as well as a retired La Leche League Leader. More mothers today are choosing this option.
Induced lactation is the process of stimulating milk production without a recent pregnancy or birth.
At least two to four weeks prior to the baby's due date it is important to begin using a hospital-grade electric breast pump. I would recommend using it with the double-pump kit. About a week before the baby arrives she can begin to include nighttime pumping sessions. It takes around four to six weeks for the breasts to begin producing milk. Most women are able to produce some breastmilk, but will need to continue supplementing while nursing.
