I had stopped BF just one week after coming home from the hospital. My milk supply wasn’t coming in and was supplementing formula so I just totally gave up. Once it did come in I didn’t even bother to breastfeed but I’m still producing milk and want to try it again.
Has anyone gone through this? Any luck? I haven’t breastfed her for about a month, she had no problem latching on and she’s still able to latch now. I’ve tried pumping before but I seriously had no luck pumping even an ounce.
Any tips on how I can build my milk supply up?

Start latching her! Oatmeal, Mothers milk tea, tons of water. But mostly latching. If you have her saliva and her mouth simulating the breasts it will signal your body to make milk.

You can absolutely start again! Just keep putting baby to breast. Don’t wait until she’s really hungry because she might get frustrated. As soon as she cues or you think she is, put her to breast. If she just wants to comfort suck, put her to breast. It’ll increase your supply.
