can I start again?

[joanna0211marie]

Had to stop bf about 4 weeks ago for a number of reasons, but there is still a bit of milk that comes out when I squeezem, not very much at all but do you think if I put her on the breast a few times a day they would start making more? I'd really like to bf again and im missing the closeness and tge bond it gives, please help. My boobs miss my baby lol.

I read somewhere that you can, although now can't find article. I would express as much as you can too to really stimulate it.
Good luck.

Yes, you can start again :)

Call one of the helplines. This is not an unusual question - they will help you work out what you need to do.

Putting her to the breast many times a day, plus expressing, will be the basis of your plan.

Check out relactation here, and on the web.

There have been some cases where women have died and the Grandmother has been able to breast feed again to feed their grand child after over 20 years of not breast feeding. 4 weeks isn't that long in the scheme of things

I've tried latching her on today but my boobs are alot smaller now and she can't get a good grip on my nipple as they're small also, especially compared to the size of bottle teats! So she is getting frustrated and confused. It's gonna be a long road!

Boob size isn't important, she will be frustrated at first but stick with it and she'll get it.

I mean they're sort of loose if you know what I mean? So shes getting alot of skin and not much boob lol, my nips are all wrinkley instead of bein pert because obviously theres no milk filling them
