Breast feeding

Shaniqua • Wed, Jul 19

So I'm starting to relactate cause I honestly miss that bond with my baby in previous weeks when I've mentiond it to family I've heard negetive feedback so keeping it to myself any way let me continue - my son had low blood sugar when he was born so the hospital immediately put him on formula I did breast feed but the formula became dominant and eventually my milk dried up I was being lazy and now regret it so today is day one I've heard that people start to get milk as little as a week after starting so fingers crossed

I pump 15 mins each boob every 2 hours

I'm in the same boat momma! Day 4 for me. Pumping as I type this. The past two-three days it's taken me a whole day to get 4 oz that's from pumping both breasts. Today is my first time pumping this morning and already have 2-2 1/2 so slow progress but not giving up. We got this!!

That's awesome! I'm grateful I live somewhere where breastfeeding is the norm and people don't look down on it. I hope your milk comes back in.

I've never heard of this... is it really possible? Do you need to pump that often for a whole week?
