Induction advice

This is advice to any men or women looking to go on the induction journey.  These are based on my experiences over the last 20 years.

1.  Find a steady partner.  Always best to induce with 1 person since ANR and induction happens out of a safe and loving bond.  This increases the chemicals in our bodies that enables the milk let-down process.  If you need more than 1 male to induce (due to the time commitment, that works too).  My preference is 1 on 1.

2. Time commitment.  Several times a day with a human suckler is preferred.  Its a huge commitment.  If cannot find a partner to suckle as often as needed, then see #3.

3. Invest in a good quality breast milk pump.  If cannot be suckled 5 to 7 times a day, then supplement with a good breast milk pump.  If you drive to work, bring the pump with you.  Induction requires commitment.

4. Don’t take supplements right away.  Start naturally.  If you feel the need to take supplements, discuss induction with your doctor.  You want to make sure any new supplements you take does not interfere with any medication you take.

5. If you do take supplements, discuss honestly with your suckling partner.  Supplements can be passed to your partner through any breast milk your partner swallows.  
6.  Induce with a partner you trust and care about.  
7. Try to find someone local, or if not local then they should be willing to see you frequently.

8. induction takes time.  Dont give up after 3 months, or even 6 months.  It could take up to a year to produce even just a few droplets of milk.  Some women lactate quickly, others its much harder to achieve lactation.   Keep at it.

9. Make it fun, romantic, or relaxing and sensual.

10. ANR is NOT about sex, but many people include sex since it is very intimate.  If you decide to include sex in your ANR rituals, make sure it does not become ABOUT sex.  Induction is sexy, no doubt, but always remember why you chose to induce.  Ground yourself on what the induction goals are, and talk about it openly with your partner.

11. Finally…. Have fun.  Respect boundaries.  Make your partner feel special and loved.


Thank you.
