Relactation

Natali · Apr 5th, 2012, 05:56 AM

Feeling so low and disconnected from my babies at the moment. Been feeling like this on and off since I stopped breastfeeding. I stopped when my babies were a week old due to pressure :'( I feel so stupid. They are now 11 weeks old (today), do you girls know if there is any chance I could go back to breastfeeding my girls? I think it would bring back what I feel is missing. Any help would be very much appreciated ..

I think relaction is totally possible.

I would suggest looking for a Le leche league in your area as they will be a big help. And I say try putting them to the breast when they are hungry and let them suckle till they have had enough of trying and then supplement. keep doing that for every feed.

If you can supplement with a feeding tube while they are suckling then they may be more willing to stay on the breast longer.

Check out fenugreek.
