Relactation

Anyone relactate and had a successful journey? I stopped bf due to mental health and that was 3 months ago and I started the relactation process today. I’m only getting ml’s so far but it’s something at least 🩷🍼

I did for the same reason. I saw the a lactation consultant today. She told me when I’m ready do a lot of skin on skin. And it’s okay to take it at my pace.

@Stephanie that’s so nice, I’m trying to get a lactation consultant. I feel like my bf journey would’ve been so much better if I had one before

The drs can prescribe a medication to help. Lots of power pumping, skin to skin xx

Just keep trying to pop bub to breast ad well x

I’ll add one tip to the great tips above - stay hydrated! Drink a ton of water before latching baby

@Stephanie are you trying to relactate by putting baby to boob or are you exclusively pumping? My baby won’t take my boob at all so I’m just pumping I want her to take it tho

@Karen she never latched for me but the lactation lay watched her latch so she could observe her because I want to. Pumping was the reason I quit. It was the part that stressed me. She said everything was good just let her latch for 15 min each then feed her with her formula so me and her don’t get to stressed
