From Bottle for a Month to Breastfeeding

Visitor Breastfeeding Question: My daughter started out on breast milk when she was born we stopped for a month and now I am trying to get her to latch on again. she is 2 months old. how can i help her latch on?

Breastfeeding Magazine Response: There is a very good chance that your relactation efforts will be successful.

Try offering your breasts to her often before she has been given her her bottle or you may want to help her by using a Lact-Aid Nursing Trainer System to make sure that she gets milk as she feeds from your breast.

Since the hormone levels are the highest for the first three months following her birth, there is a good chance with stimulation from your child, you can reestablish a good milk supply and no longer will need the help of the nursing trainer after a while.
