Please tell me about relactation.

[Kayzr]

I am considering relactation as I want to BF DS2 but due to bad MWs I gave up at 6 weeks. He is 18 weeks on Friday and I'd really like to know all I can about it.

I am going to see GP about the medication you can get to boost milk supply and I know Fenugreek can help too.

TIA

Kayzr, I remember your posts about the bad advice from the midwives

If you search 'relacation' in the mumsnet forums, you'll find lots of info.

12 weeks without bf is a long time, though, and you will need a lot of motivation and persistence - if your baby co-operates and is happy to stay on the breast without much milk there, it will help. Try lots of skin to skin cuddles, in-bath cuddles, and just see what he does Forcing it will not help at all, so be gentle with him

I never thought to search posts. Thanks.

I'm going to try it. HV looked at me like I had 6 heads when I asked about it this morning when he had his jabs.
