Nipple Stimulation...does it work?

[snapebaby_4]

Has anyone tried nipple stimulation?  How?  And was it effective?

At how many weeks should you start this? Obviously not too early. Iwant to try it.Im scheduled for a c-section in three weeks but my doctor told me if I go into labor before hand and I can have the baby naturally which I want to do

3Minutes rub, one minute stop

Finessleslie, when you did it, were you given any instructions to how you should do it? I.e., 4 min on each breast with 4 min pause????

It's only been recently that i have heard that nipple stimulating can help bring on labour... In this pregnancy i have wanted s.ex a lot more than my other 2 but my husband has to do 'certain' things lol and one of them is to play with my left nipple lol  im only 30 weeks so I better watch out lol

Not to sound gross but is it more productive to use the breast pump or can my hubby help with it?! Hes been dying to suck on my nipples but they hurt so bad! But i mean if its going to be progressive i can deal with the pain! Lol but for those that have done nipple stimulation did you produce milk? Cause thatd be kinda weird for the hubby to be sucking milk out...

Yes Yes Yes. I had to do it at the young tender age of 16, 15yrs ago. I was so ashamed!  I told my family...... GET OUT ---->!!!! I couldn't do it while they were in there but the nurse came.I. after some time n told me I contracted but I didn't feel it....YET!!

I am currently 41+ weeks and was told yeaterday to use my breast pump 4 times a day for 15 minutes each time alternating sides to naturally induce labor. It gives me horrible contractions and each time I do it they last a little longer after pumping. I'm hoping one of these times they last until baby is out.
