Inducing Lactation

[shycoyote]

I keep thinking about this... I want to do it.
I am away from my partner right now so I would be doing it on my own... but I have lots of questions. Does anyone know...
How? Like is using a breast-pump enough - how often and long I'd have to use it?
How long does it take to stop lactation once milk is being produced?
Would it be noticable to my friends and family?
Any advice, experience, thoughts or encouragement is welcome.
Thanks

There has been some really good, comprehensive advice from people who know what they're doing in previous threads. Click me for some of those threads and posts. (Take note of the site:forum.literotica.com search term(s) syntax, as you can use it to find just about anything that's been discussed here [and in stories if you simply take out the 'forum'].)

Have you googled 'inducing lactation' and read up on it yet? If I were you, I'd start there and see what advice is repeated and from lactation specialists or other experts. Some women who adopt babies or have their milk dry up induce lactation, so you shouldn't have a problem finding good advice, or even asking about it on other lactation-specific boards/groups.

Be advised that it's usually a long process that requires a ton of time and commitment. It's different for every woman, but you should be able to find some general guidelines in previous threads or elsewhere online.

Milk often dries up fairly quickly if when it's not being extracted. I'm not sure how long it takes for someone who's not postpartum, but I've had postpartum friends who have had their supply mostly dry up in a matter of a couple of weeks, IIRC.

If you have leakage that soaks through your bra and shirt, it's likely to be quite noticeable to anyone who looks. There are special pads to prevent this, though, and I'm not sure how much of a real threat it is for someone who's not nursing, since the milk supply is usually significantly less w/ induced lactation, from what I understand.

Basically, you should be able to get answers to most of your questions by putting in some time googling and reading.

Well, you could use hormones, but being that it leads to considerable extra fat storage, it might not be a great idea.
