After struggling to keep my milk supply up for my baby, i decided with alot of hesitation to switch him to formula... which he hasnt took to at all, im now trying to start breast feeding him again as i feel i made the wrong choice trying to switch him... is it possible to get your supply back??
many thanks for all help

Hi Gem, sorry to hear it's not been working out for you and Isaac Sad Have a look at this page on the kellymom site, there's a long list of things at the bottom of the page that you can try to help re-establish your supply. Good luck!

Sorry to hear youve been struggling. I know it it possible to regain your milk supply , there is a thread i remember reading on here where one girl did it sucessfully. Lots of luck with it xxxx
If I remember rightly, lots of skin to skin contact and plenty of suckling is the key! Getting my milk supply back 129911
