Hi everyone
I only bf for 10 days before switching to formula. My milk supply was excellent it took me weeks to dry up I think LO was 8 weeks and I was still getting a little. Anyway I won't make excuses for giving up apart from I was stupid and not educated on how hard it is to establish BF I assumed because it's natural it will be easy..how stupid! I beat myself up constantly about it and lately I've got to a point where I hate feeding LO as I feel so guilty. I had a read up and found out It is possible but really really hard work. LO refuses to latch now he just crys and turns away. If I hired a medical grade pump would it be possible to build up a milk supply again? I thought if I even had any milk there LO might take an interest again? Has anyone heard of people doing this? I know ladies have done it after 5-6 weeks but 3 month+ am I insane to even think it could happen?
