50. Inducing Lactation

Guests: Kelli, Trudy and Hannah Hear from 3 mothers through Australian surrogacy who induced lactation and were able to directly breastfeed their babies. We discussed: ❤️ What’s the name of the protocol / process you follow? 🧡 When do you need to start taking meds/tablets? 💛 What pump did you use? 💚 How much should I expect to get each pump? 💙 How often to pump? 💜 Did you see a lactation consultant? 🤎 And when baby is born…. Did you have enough milk? 🤍 How long did you breastfeed for? These podcasts were recorded as part of the free webinar series run by Surrogacy Australia. If you would like to attend one, head to our website for dates and registration links. They can also be found on our YouTube channel so you can see the photos that are described in the recordings.

Register for SASS to connect with me - your Siri for Surrogacy, or book in for a private consultation [email protected] About me: My name is Anna McKie and I’m a part time high school senior Math teacher, single mum with two children in Adelaide South Australia and birthed as a surrogate in September 2020 for two Dads. I’ve also been an egg donor for 3 families, and 2 of those were for surrogacy teams. I have been closely involved in the Australian surrogacy community since 2016 and am responsible for the day-to-day administration of Surrogacy Australia's Support Service (SASS). I’m passionate about the surrogacy community (the village) and that people should be able to navigate surrogacy in Australia without being on Facebook. That was part of our motivation for creating SASS, the monthly zoom catch ups and the free webinars. Within SASS we have a Mentor program, so you can be connected with a peer to meet in person and to ask questions without fear of online judgement. Contact...
