Random FAQ's

 

 

1. Do women involved in erotic lactation need to wear a special padded or absorbent bra for nursing mothers or is that only if they get their milk flowing hard and fast?

No once the milk comes in she will have to wear nursing pads as the milk WILL leak out.

2. If you are lactating, and you wear a “normal” bra, are you tempting fate for lactation accidents? Or does the milk not flow that heavy with erotic lactation activity?

Yes you are tempting fate. It can flows just as much as with erotic lactation as it can when lactating for a baby.

3. Can a woman start lactating for erotic purposes wherein the flow of milk is not as heavy as with breast-feeding a child, or is it “once started the milk flows”?

It depends. The amount of milk works on supply and demand. The more that's demanded the more milk a woman's body will make.

4. From those women who are or have lactated for erotic purposes…can your partner drain your breasts of milk or are you forced to use a pump to do this to keep the milk from building up too fast or too much in the breast?

Yes he/she can and should drain them. Again it's supply and demand. If the partner only nurses a couple of times a day there won't be as much milk. If a partner nurses more say 5-6 times a day there will be more to meet the demand. It's important that they breast get drained one way or another or else the body won't make as much because it will think that the demand is to high less and make less milk.

5. Once started, how do you stop the flow and/or production of milk?

Easy...stop nursing. Again...supply and demand...when there is no demand...the body will cut the supply.

6.  How does one handle daytime sessions when both partners work full-time?

She can pump in the morning and he can nurse from her in the evenings. On the weekends get in as much nursing and/or pumping as you can.  Make sure you take your herbs to encourage things to move along quicker as well as massaging your breasts both morning and in the evening.  It may take longer to get results than a couple who have more time to devote to the lactation induction process, but eventually it will happen. Once the milk comes in they say that you can adjust the nursing to your schedule, which for those who work full time would most likely be mornings and evenings.

7. What do you do about leaking breasts?

Make sure that you purchase the thin liners that you place inside your bra to absorb the milk; nobody will be able to tell you're wearing them.

8.  Is it possible for a woman who is eight months pregnant, to nurse her husband at this stage in her pregnancy?

According to lactation consultants it's not a good idea. Nursing wet or dry stimulates uterine contractions and can cause premature labor.

Also, the colostrum needs to be built up for the baby. The colostrum is rich in fat and immune factors. The baby should be the only one doing the nursing for at least the first three days. The baby should always get the first milk to insure they get enough, then the husband can nurse after the baby.

9.  What is the secret behind a successful ANR?

What you think about you bring about. If you think you can or can't you're probably right. This amazing thing that we're doing really is possible! If you want it and if you believe that you'll get it and you keep at it then it will eventually happen. Don't forget in the midst of all of the nursing and pumping and taking of various supplements to encourage the supply, the very important part of this process that lies between your two ears! Close your eyes and visualize what you want your end result to be. Meditate on it. Believe in it. Close your eyes and focus on the mental picture of your milk filled breasts feeding your partner and on the overflowing endless supply that is there on demand. All throughout the day find a moment here and there to visualize that same thing over and over again, even if just for 15 seconds. That thought in your head starts to transfer messages to the other parts of the body. It works. This goes for the partner in the relationship who's doing the nursing as well. Your positive thoughts create a positive energy that will transfer to your partner. Don't underestimate the power of your belief and on how much of an impact it has on the successful outcome you both want. P.S.  Ladies, please remember to take in enough fluids. It takes extra fluid to help make extra fluid.

10.  I'm thinking of getting my nipples pierced or have had my nipples pierced, can I still breastfeed my partner with success?

Yes.  In most cases, pierced nipples do not cause a problem when breastfeeding; in fact, some women have found that it actually increases their milk flow (not production), making it easier to nurse. Some women say they even keep the jewelry in (including during feedings), although it really is not recommended. You need to carefully consider what goes into your partner's mouth, and a piercing can be a breeding ground for bacteria. It's much easier to keep the nipple clean without the jewelry in place.

If you remove the jewelry permanently while you are nursing, the hole may very well close up and then you would need to repierce your nipple.

If you remove the jewelry only for feeding sessions, it shouldn't be a problem replacing it after the feeding is over. But constant removal and replacement of the jewelry can be annoying or even cause the piercing to become sore. Since breastfeeding can already cause sore nipples, you really won't want to cause any additional aggravation.

So, unless you have a medical reason, getting your nipples pierced should cause no complications.  Once they are pierced, make sure you give your nipples sufficient time to heal, approximately two weeks.  Germs and bacteria can cause a painful infection, so it would be best if your partner not touch or even try to suckle your nipples until the grace period has passed.
