Starting Breastfeeding after 5 Months

Visitor Question: This might sound kind of weird but I had a difficult time breastfeeding my little girl at birth and there after...

However I was wondering if I can try again now. She is 5 months old and I still have milk.

It will leak out when I have no bra on. I really want to know. It was my hearts desire to be able to breastfeed.

Breastfeeding Magazine Response: There is a very good chance that you may be able to breastfeed even after this long because you still have some milk present.

Try getting your baby to suckle at the breast as often as she will and follow the guidelines offered on our relacation page.

Good luck!
