Induction of lactation in the intended mother of a surrogate pregnancy: case report

F P Biervliet et al. Hum Reprod. 2001 Mar.

Abstract

A case of a successful induction of lactation in a commissioning mother of a surrogate pregnancy is reported. Induction of lactation was achieved with oral metoclopramide which was well tolerated. Alternative methods to induce lactation are reviewed. The advantages of breast-feeding and the relative ease with which lactation can be induced after a surrogate pregnancy would suggest that this could be offered to all commissioning mothers.
