Relactation and Relatching - help me!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
It's been about ten months since I nursed or pumped for my little girl - I had a low milk supply to begin with and didn't receive the lactation support I needed (I know better now and will approach BF differently with future babies). Lately she has been showing lots of interest in BF again and I am seriously considering relactation. I have done my research into herbal supplements, traditional pharmaceuticals, and pumping - I'm pretty sure I have an idea about how I would go about establishing my milk supply but any tips and tricks?

My other concern is getting my daughter to relatch and latch properly. She is 14 months, very head strong and full of teeth. I don't want to force her onto my breast and make her fearful, I want nursing to be comfortable and relaxing again. Has anyone successfully relatched a toddler?

Thank you for any and all help! I live in an area where lactation consultants are hard to come by and I can't do this alone.

Im sure there are lactation consulants that will skype or do some other online/video communication with you. You might try and post in Birth Professionals.
