I think I've told you before (maybe I told someone else) that women tried to convince me to take hormones to induce lactation so my adopted infants could have the benefits of breast milk. This, after I'd had a pituitary tumor because my polycystic ovaries had caused hyperprolactinemia - I was lacting and never pregnant.
so no thank you, I did not want to then tell my body, "oh hey, thanks for making prolactin when i didn't want it but now I DO want it so I'm going to dose myself with a synthetic hormone stimulator to convince the pituitary to make the prolactin it got a tumor for earlier" yeah. ignoramuses.
Instead of going apesh!t on these women I simply said (they were church folks) "If god knew these children would not be with their birthmother getting breast milk, then he knew their little immune systems would be just fine on formula. I'm not worried about it."
