Relactating advice

[Laurenr1991]

Hey ladies, I stopped pumping breast milk a few months ago, but with the pandemic etc I really wanna give Isla the best start, so want to see if it is possible to start reproducing milk? If it’s possible? Anyone tried and been successful?

If you've stop pumping for a few months and stopped lactsting it's unlikely you'll be able to start as your hormones will go back to normal. Have you checked if you're still producing milk? On the positive note if you did breastfeed you will have passed on lots antibodies already.

If you can still produce milk you might be able to if she will still suckle, butif she's had bottles she might have difficulty latching now. You could try if you have milk to express some and give her that in a bottle. You could also try getting in touch with a lactation consultant who might be able to give you more structured advise on steps you can take

It's possible. There are some relactation/pumping groups on fb and ice seen ladies with success.
