OldMaster -> RE: Induced Lactation (3/15/2004 3:50:36 PM)

At one time, there was a document online from the World Health Organization that explained all about induced lactation from a clinical perspective. The motivation was to educate potential nurses in zones where catastrophe may have orphaned many babies. According to the document in question, many (perhaps most) women can be induced by following a routine of suckling at each breast for a few minutes, 3 or 4 times a day. The suckling will apparently trigger the production of the critical hormones. I do not recall there being any warnings of health risks, though there were cautions regarding depletion of calcium (among other things), as well as the usual warnings to eat more, and perhaps more often. As has been pointed out here, there can be annoyances, such as leaking, or cracked nipples (but I've seen it suggested that application of mother's milk to the irritated nipple will both soothe and aid in healing), and if production is substantial, then disrupting the routine can produce discomfort (breasts too full can ache, I gather.) On the pro side, the notion of the sub or slave producing food for her Dom or Master, and on a schedule she cannot control, is certainly attractive. ;) And it seems to me a profoundly intimate exchange, as well.
