Dry nursing - re lactating.
Show your support
My baby stopped as well at the same age… I was upset and until now I didn’t say to my husband that was me that was not producing more milk … loads of factors ( stress, luck of sleep etc) I cried a lot in silence but I feel better now please don’t blame yourself unfortunately it’s our body and it’s hard to control. But I did try some tea that I got from Amazon . I hope you can manage it Good luck and I wanted to share my experience as you are not alone 😘
I would suggest talking to a breastfeeding consultant. But yes it’s possible to start breastfeeding again. I have not been in the position myself, so can’t give any input. https://www.hamiltonhealthsciences.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/BreastfeedAfterFormula-lw.pdf

Don’t feel ashamed 💝 as Nicky says, its a great bonding opportunity (my top reason for breastfeeding, and definitely what I missed the most when we had to stop) and skin to skin is always important x
Also to add my breastfed baby doesn’t like dummies either. She only takes them when she’s super upset, but half the time she purposely spits it out.
Don't be ashamed. Sometimes babies need skin to skin to settle. I have no idea about restarting your milk supply, but I would guess it's worth trying what is recommended for increasing your supply?
