Hi Robin,

I imagine you've looked into the possible hazards, but just in case you haven't, there was an article around about problems with lactating and what you have to do to avoid them. I don't recall all the details, but you have to think about what happens when lactating is being used to feed a baby, i.e. regular draining, hygiene etc, otherwise there is a real worry about mastitis. As I recall, a baby gets latched on pretty regularly, and I remember my wife getting very uncomfortable if too long went by.

Just a thought!

Best regards,

Bryony

Thanks for the thoughts but I am pretty sure my volume of production is a small fraction of what a feeding Mom would have. I think, that in the "fuller" phase, at maximum I can produce maybe a tablespoons worth a day, if that! I think I wouldn't have enough to feed a small lab-mouse.
