Silly question, can I go back to breastfeeding?

Question

I breastfed until baby was five weeks old. She’s now 11 weeks old and I’m thinking it’s easier to breastfeed her in the day and have formula once at night? 
Will this be a good idea as it has been 5 weeks since I breastfed her? My health visitor is busy so advice would be helpful

Answer

You can look into relactating. Lots of women do it.

Answer

It might be worth reaching out to a lactation consultant. I nurse during the day and give pumped milk at night or formula if I don't pump enough during the day but I've also been nursing since my daughter was born 2 weeks ago. Maybe try to find an online doctor to ask if your's isn't available? I'd definitely reach out to a doctor though before trying to do it yourself so your kid gets enough to eat.

Answer

Do you still have a good supply and does bub still latch?
