Breast feeding is commonly accepted as the preferred method of infant nutrition for various reasons, both nutritional and emotional. For some who have become parents by adoption, there is a strong desire to induce lactation for adoptive nursing.
Information regarding adoptive nursing was initially obtained for the author's personal experience from searching the internet and speaking with other adoptive mothers. The medical literature was also searched through OVID/MEDLINE using pertinent terms, including induced lactation, adoptive nursing, domperidone, and metoclopramide.
Use of physiologic and pharmacologic methods can help an adoptive mother bring in a milk supply. The quantity may not be sufficient to entirely meet an infant's nutritional needs. However, for many the emotional benefits remain. There is some controversy surrounding the use of domperidone and metoclopramide for induced lactation. Herbals such as fenugreek have not been researched. Physicians can help their patients understand the current tools available to assist them with this unique endeavor.
出于营养和情感等多方面原因，母乳喂养被公认为是婴儿营养的首选方式。对于一些通过收养成为父母的人来说，强烈希望诱导泌乳以进行收养哺乳。
关于收养哺乳的信息最初是作者从网上搜索以及与其他收养母亲交谈中获得的个人经验。还通过OVID/MEDLINE使用相关术语搜索了医学文献，这些术语包括诱导泌乳、收养哺乳、多潘立酮和甲氧氯普胺。
使用生理和药理方法可以帮助收养母亲产生乳汁供应。其数量可能不足以完全满足婴儿的营养需求。然而，对许多人来说，情感上的益处依然存在。关于使用多潘立酮和甲氧氯普胺进行诱导泌乳存在一些争议。诸如葫芦巴等草药尚未得到研究。医生可以帮助他们的患者了解目前可用于协助他们进行这项独特努力的工具。
