Has anyone ever relactated? is it possible and worth it?

Question

I stopped breastfeeding around two months ago. I never did it exclusively, I gave formula day one because the pain was too intense (FTM and very young with PPD just didn't expect it to be so hard.) so I basically did it on and off for the first month of her life, and then gave up then. She is now 3 months old. 
I still have milk, when I manually express a few drops come out. Nothing comes out with my manual pump. 
Baby will not latch really only for a few seconds. 
Idk what to do. I regret giving up. SO MUCH. It just gives me so much sadness to know I didn't try as hard as I could have. So I want to try and relactate or get my milk supply back. Do you think it's something that is possible? Like I said I only make a few drops, and nothing comes out with the pump yet. But I do feel the feeling of some milk in them. Any help is appreciated.

Answer

Latch baby in as much as possible. I think you still can! If you can still get milk out that's a good sign. Also pump even if nothing comes out. It tells your body to make more milk even if none comes out. Do each side 20 min. I can be engorged and only get 1oz of milk out from my pumps now, but baby will pull more out (I EBF). Sometimes our bodies don't respond to pumps as well as baby.

Answer

I don't personally have any advice for you, my baby isn't here yet. But you are taking care of yourself and your baby. They are fed and growing and you're doing the best you can, don't beat yourself up! ❤

Answer

You can call your OB and see if he will prescribe you reglan. If your comfortable with that. I started to take it tried to latch baby, never again. He nearly bit my nip off! But yeah, it's a medication for stomach problems but has a side effect of lactating and I've only heard good things!

Answer

You can try some lactation cookies, tea or supplements with fenugreek to see if your supply picks back uo
