Good for you, though. Hang in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-starting-bf-after-stopping#post-153867 Thu, 10 May 2012 10:09:44 +0000 Sweet T 153867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to say good luck! I stopped BFing DS at 4 weeks and regretted it soon after. DH was deployed and I didn't have the support I needed to try relactation. I hope you are successful!! Please remember that you haven't failed either way. Formula will not be the end of the world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-starting-bf-after-stopping#post-153860 Thu, 10 May 2012 10:02:20 +0000 Goldilocks1107 153860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice - just wanted to give you some words of encouragement. I hope rebuilding your supply works - good luck! And I'm glad you're doing better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-starting-bf-after-stopping#post-153857 Thu, 10 May 2012 10:01:50 +0000 Rubies 153857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a guide to increasing your milk supply:</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2011/09/28/increasing-your-milk-supply/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2011/09/28/increasing-your-milk-supply/</a></p> <p>I used Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle and they worked well for me! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/re-starting-bf-after-stopping#post-153851 Thu, 10 May 2012 09:59:03 +0000 loveisstrange 153851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Due to a lot of factors, not the least of which was a deep depression from my traumatic birth experience, I stopped BFing LO when she was around a week old. She's 5 weeks and 2 days now, so i've only not been BFing for 4 weeks. Well, I have decided that I want to try and go back to BFing now that I have regained a little bit of my mental stability. I've been feeling guilty that I gave up too easily and I want to make sure I give it my best try before I call it quits. My milk isn't gone yet and I still leak regularly, so I know there is some possibility.</p> <p>I am going to see a LC tomorrow and she is going to set me up with a pump and a supplemental nursing system so that I can try and get at least some of my supply back. I also have some fenugreek and mother's milk tea that I am going to start using. I know that I may never be able to EBF, but I want to do what I can. </p> <p>Has anyone else done this? Any tips for upping my supply? </p>
