I would like to resume breastfeeding after an interruption. How do I relactate?
http://www.llli.org/FAQ/relactation.html
Sometimes a mother decides to resume breastfeeding, whether due to an emergency when there is a shortage of other food, after a separation, etc. Often a mother can rebuild a milk su****y very successfully, with patience and determination (and a cooperative baby). The Breastfeeding Answer Book, published by La Leche League International, recommends the following strategies for relactation and induced lactation, to stimulate milk production:
Putting baby to breast to suck at each feeding and for comfort between feedings as often as possible.
Using hand expression or a breast pump.
Using a nursing su****ementer (if available and if conditions are sanitary enough to make its use safe) to provide expressed milk at the breast while baby sucks at the breast.
Taking herbs/medication that increase milk su****y (herb resources are listed in the resources collection).
If you do use herbs or medications to increase your su****y, be sure to put the baby to the breast frequently, to remove as much milk as possible. This will help avoid breast infections or plugged ducts.
Our FAQ on increasing your milk su****y also contains valuable hints for re-starting breastfeeding, and our article on how the human breast works contains valuable information on how milk su****y is built up and maintained. |
