Has anyone successful re-established milk supply?

Hey all.

Just that really??
My baby is 4 months old. I breastfed until he was 6 weeks old but unfortunately I became quite unwell and I had to stop breast feeding as I was needing to take medication that I was not able to breastfeed with. I tried expressing(and dumping the milk) to keep the milk supply going but I was just too unwell to stick to the schedule and eventually my milk dried up.
I am now off all meds and I would really like my baby to have my milk again or atleast some.
I've read that frequent stimation can re establish supply. Has anyone successfully done this?
It has been about 2 months since my milk completely dried up. If I hand express for a very long time I may get the odd drop of milk.
I would love to hear of anyone's experience with this!

Many thanks everyone :)

Someone in my ante-natal group did. They were all struck by d+v when her baby was 2 weeks old. She restarted breadtfeeding andvir worked fine.
I had a la lèche book that explained how adoptive mothers can breastfeed as it's the suckling that stimulates the hormones that produced milk.
Worth contacting a breadtfeeding counsellor in your area and loads of skin to skin contact.
Fwiw I had real problems at first, so dd had 1 or 2 bottles a day and she never had any problems going between the two.
Good luck

Personally I didn’t have any luck, I still breastfed my 10 month old but at around 6 months she began completely rejecting the right breast I think because it had a much stronger let down than the left. I kept persisting but she would just bite me so instead I tried pumping it every three hours but I could never get the supply back. My right side is now at least two cup sizes smaller than the left and I really hate it!
I can still hand express a little from the right but it never ever fills with milk or becomes engorged so the supply is pretty much gone.

I haven’t personally but I think Lucy Ruddle has a book about relactation

My friend re-lactated after originally deciding not to breastfeed. She managed to relactate using a breast pump as baby did not take to the breast. I’m not sure how old the baby was when she re lactated but my friend continued to pump for a few months. It’s amazing what the human body can do!
