Induced lactation is breast-feeding without prior pregnancy. Preparation includes breast and nipple stimulation, supplementing the maternal diet, and occasional use of hormones. Infants younger than 8 weeks are more willing to nurse than infants older than 8 weeks. Previous lactation experience is related to increased likelihood of milk production, decreased need for supplemental fluids, and duration of breast-feeding. Tandem nursing an older biological infant and the adoptive infant does not guarantee an increase in milk production sufficient to meet the adoptive infant's needs. Three fourths of the women who took part in this questionnaire survey evaluated this experience positively, regardless of infant age at weaning or need for supplemental fluids. Most respondents stressed the maternal-infant relationship and its enhancement through breast-feeding, rather than milk production, as the reason for attempting induced lactation.
诱导泌乳是指在没有先前怀孕的情况下进行母乳喂养。准备工作包括乳房和乳头刺激、补充产妇饮食以及偶尔使用激素。8周以下的婴儿比8周以上的婴儿更愿意吃奶。以前的泌乳经历与产奶量增加、补充液体需求减少以及母乳喂养持续时间有关。同时喂养一个较大的亲生孩子和领养婴儿并不能保证产奶量增加到足以满足领养婴儿的需求。参与此次问卷调查的女性中有四分之三对这种经历给予了积极评价，无论断奶时婴儿的年龄或补充液体的需求如何。大多数受访者强调母婴关系以及通过母乳喂养来加强这种关系，而非产奶量，这是尝试诱导泌乳的原因。
