Adoptive Breastfeeding and Domperidone

1 / 31 / 184 / 11 / 21

I first wrote this post on April 17, 2010, after I first tried inducing lactation using breast stimulation only, and failed. The post was worth updating with all the research I’ve done and the new experience I gained over the years. 😉

Working mother

Who doesn’t want a healthy body to go with a healthy mind?

Whether you work at home as a freelancer (like me) or mompreneur or at your day job, keeping up with healthy habits can be challenging, and even daunting if your workplace doesn’t promote employee’s wellness.
