Hi all I am trying to start bf after stopping for over 6 weeks now. My son was bf for the first month, but I stopped due to having only a 2onth age gap between my two and basically being exhausted! My son had IUGR through a placental abruption so I have been told he is liable to always feed a lot- and he does! So this deterred me from bf too as the constant feeding seemed unlikely to chnage... However since giving it up we have got a bit more rest and a bit more into a routine and basically I miss it and regret being so hasty.
I cannot take fenugreek due to thyroid being slightly over active (slowly going down so no need for meds yet) but I am drinking fennel tea and eating lots of oats. Anyone out there relactated after such a long time? How often do you drink this fennel tea too btw?! It's yum so I don't mind too much :) I'm expressing 8 times a day and through the night so I am giving it my all, but due to traumatic labour I needed domperidone to boost my supply initially , so I am worried it will not come back again properly. I am getting drops and it has increased the more j pump, my son will go the breast and suckle, but only for a a few seconds... Though in hopong the more my milk is in, the more he will.
