ORIGINAL: Aynne88 I am not trying to be cruel, but at a certain age isn't lactation kind of out of the spectrum of reality? I am 44 and at my age most likely my eggs are scrambled let alone attempting to produce milk when most women 50 plus are grandmothers. Perhaps it is a futile attempt for something biologically ridiculous. quote:
ORIGINAL: thornhappy It comes from prolactin (from the pituitary gland); there's a medicine that can start it and I think stim can induce it (kind of a feedback loop between the nipple and the pituitary.) It's been done for women who adopt infants. What thornhappy said. Prolactin is a pituitary hormone, not an ovarian hormone. Adoptive mothers who have never been pregnant have induced lactation, and even post-menopausal women have been known to. They may not produce as much as a healthy nursing mother would, but it's still possible to produce. I'm using wild yam cream and breast/nipple stimulation eight times a day and it's working. ~sweetsub~
