Has anyone reestablish breastfeeding after stopping?

Question

Hi ladies, i was unable to successfully breastfeed my little one and so i started exclusively pumping. My baby still gets formula because i still cannot make enough milk. Lately i have been thinking that i should maybe try breastfeeding him.

Baby was only breastfeed for about 2-3 weeks and then I started pumping. ( it was a decision made for my sanity and baby) but i think I feel strong enough mentally to maybe give it a try again.

Has anyone been able to successfully do this?

My baby is now 4 months.

Answer

Find a la leche league group. And learn manual expression. It can definitely be done but it will be hard work.

Answer

I began exclusively pumping at 5 days pp because of unsuccessful BFing, and we're now at 1 month and I was able to latch him yesterday with the help of my doctor, and I'm happy to say he's been eating at the breast ever since. Honestly, I didn't think I cared that we weren't BFing, I thought hey, EPing is working for us just fine, why quit? But man, when he latched and began eating straight from me... I was overwhelmed with feeling proud of both of us, and the connection I felt to him was so strong... It's been a hard few days transitioning back and learning all over again together, but it's so worth it for the feelings you get when you have a successful session. I say if you want to start again, give it a shot, and if you can't do it alone, try to see your doctor if they're BFing supportive, or get in touch with a lactation consultant. It's never too late, in my opinion, to try to get back to the breast. Plus, way less stressful than pumping - for me anyway. 
Hope this is encouraging for you! :)

Answer

If you're not producing enough milk I recommend getting some Milkmaid Tea (made by Earth Mama Angel Baby) to help with production, also if he's way too dependent on the feel of a bottle nipple get some nipple shields! In case you don't know what nipple shields are (I had no idea until recently), they are like nipples for a bottle that basically stick to your areola so it feels like a bottle for baby
