I stopped breastfeeding after a very shaky start (no help in hospital to establish, real troubles with nipples and ending up having to use shields for latch), I only managed 4 weeks.
My baby is now 20 weeks and I have an overwhelming urge to breastfeed, it is breaking my heart. I don't know why it is happening. I have read all the advice online about expressing and fenugreek, skin to skin etc, but I just don't know if there is any real chance of it every working again. I don't want to put myself through it if it is never going to pay off. My little girl is happy and thriving on formula, so I would be doing it for my benefit in many ways, and I don't even really understand why I feel like I want to so much. It feels primal.
Does anyone have any experience? Is there any chance of me making this work?
