Posting for sil who has a 5 week old dd. Sil made a decision not to bf long before dd was born. However, dd has been extremely colicky, vomiting after each feed and was admitted to hospital last week after failing to thrive. She was on regular infant formula. Sil said she was sure she was mixing it up correctly and even tried the ready cartons just to be sure.
Anyway, gp prescribed different formulas all to no avail and it has now been decided that she has severe lactose intolerance. Sil doesn't want her to have soya formula so she has now decided she wants to breastfeed.
Her question is, is it possible to reestablish breastfeeding after five weeks? How does she go about it? She is super stressed out and is not really getting any support form her gp or hv so I said I would post here.
Can anyone advise?
TIA
