Can you start breastfeeding again after 8 months of not?


Just curious.. if you have no milk left and it all dried up 8 months ago can you resume breastfeeding or is it too late?
And is 9 months old to old to start breastfeeding?

Nope all your milk is gone and at 9 months a baby that has been bottle feed there is no way he will take the breast now

Well, while some moms continue to produce milk even years after weaning it sounds as if you do not have any. However, pumping and allowing your infant to suckle can stimulate the milk ducts to start producing milk - even adoptive moms do this with their children that they didn't deliver. You'd want to ingest a galactologue, such as fenugreek (copious amounts but it does lower blood pressure so be careful), and pump frequently - like every 2 hours even at night.

It's not too late but it would be arduous, and you have to consider whether it's worth it.

You can talk some medication that brings it back.

That's how some mothers that adopt are able too!

Or like the "pregnant man" his wife took the same medication so she could brestfeed!

Once your milk is dried up its gone

no, you can't because when it all dried up the milk won't go back anymore. the milk comes out only after you gave birth. you just have to eat and drink more so it would flow freely.

As far as I know if your milk have completely dried up you can't.

i think your dried up by now. so no

noooooo,,,,,,,,,
