Breast or bottle

chamnis14

i nursed for the first week but then I stared pumping and giving him my milk that way.. But I felt like pumping took over my entire day. Now I just give him formula and lately I've started to feel like I took the easy way out and didn't work hard enough on breastfeeding.. He will be a month old on Friday.. Is there any way to get my milk back and start to breastfeed again or is it too late...

You can maybe try to nurse during each feed for 10-15 minutes each side and then offer formula bottle if needed until your supply is back up. This is just my intuition...hoping others will chime in.

I agree with pp. Try drinking fenugreek tea and eating oatmeal. Maybe check out the exclusive pumping boards and see what tips and techniques they use like finding a pumping schedule that works for you for your supply. Hth
