Induced Lactation

 
 

Special care for special stories

If you wish to provide your baby with your own milk, but won’t be carrying the pregnancy yourself, your body will need some help getting started. We’ve helped others to reach their goals, and we’d love to be a part of your journey!

  • Multiple lactating parents

  • Surrogacy

  • Adoption

In many cases, we have the opportunity to start a milk supply before baby arrives. Once baby is here, we can support you with latching if you choose, or you can stick with pumping and feed your milk by bottle.

Schedule an Induced Lactation Consult to get started! If you’re local, we can meet at the MilkMatters office, located at 12 Metro Park Road, Ste. 208, Albany, NY 12205. Otherwise, we’ll meet by secure video call.
