Breastfeeding again after 2 weeks

[gmh27]

I breastfed my baby for 3 days when she was first born, but switched to formula after a bad experience with a midwife in the hospital telling me she was going to get worse jaundice if she didn't stay latched for longer and told me I wasn't giving her what she needed. She is now 2 weeks old and I've noticed I'm still leaking a bit of milk so offered her the breast and she has latched on really well. Is re-establishing breastfeeding something I am able to do? I was so upset about giving it up and I only formula fed my first baby so I was really excited about the idea of feeding my second myself.

It is possible to breastfeed. Offer her the breast as often as you can. After two weeks milk is produced by demand, so the more you feed the more your body will produce. Feeding between one and four in the night can be really beneficial in boosting supply. The la lèche league have lots of helpful resources and you could talk to one of their advisors.
Good luck , I hope it goes really well for you.

My exact experience and I started bf again after 5 weeks. Keep baby on you as much as possible ...sometimes for me this was hours on end, nights were brutal, give fornula to top up if needed or even better express milk - you'll get there
