My daughter is now just over 2 months old and I am regretting not breastfeeding her. Is it too late? If not, how do I get my milk back? Please give me some advice...

Never. Even women who have never been pregnant can lactate, but it isn't easy. You should get an IBCLC to help you and LLL too, for support.

To start, try latching your daughter on. You're likely going to need a good electric pump and I would nurse on one side and pump on the other.

Some foods to help are almonds and oatmeal (some say slow cook is better, steel cut). There are others like fenugreek, but I haven't used them.

Talk to the lactation specialists immediately. I breastfed from day 1 and loved every moment. I don't know if it's too late. Good luck!|||are yous till producing anything- if so pump pump and put baby to breast contact lll or a lactation consultant|||The only thing you can do is put her to your breast and see if she will nurse. (she may have to get used to it, as bottle nipples are much different than breast nipples) The more she suckles, the more likely it is that you will begin to lactate. However, this will take a great deal of effort on your part. You will have to nurse her EVERY time she needs to eat for a minimum of 10 minutes per side (at least every 2 or 3 hours), then proceed to supplement with a bottle. This is only to stimulate production, which will probably be very minimal, at best, for the first week or so. Don't lose hope, it is possible. You can also try Reglin, (sp?) it's a prescription drug I used to stimulate milk production. Good luck to you. Don't fret, it's not the end of the world if you are unable to restart nursing, and don't beat yourself up about it. She honestly isn't going to suffer for it, formula is a healthy alternative for any baby.|||It would be best to contact a certified lactation consultant or a La Leche League leader to help you out. Here's some information on re-lactation to get you started:
