Relactation after stopping 3 weeks

Hi I stopped breastfeeding my newborn about three weeks ago due to fussiness at breast and colic. Fast forward three weeks and bottle feeding has not made things easier ( hardier with all the sterilising). I still have milk if I try to hand express I want to get back to breastfeeding, I fed my other two kids till they weaned themselves. Can this be done? Do I need to pump or just get baby on breast . Any advice / experience welcome

How are you getting on? How old was little one when you stopped offering breastfeeds, have you started offering breastfeed again?

I would say the only way to do it now would be to triple feed. So first offer baby breast, give baby a bottle and pump.
as relactation becomes successful baby will take less from the bottle and then you can start cutting down on bottle feeds
