6mo postpartum and milk has come back randomly, should I go back to pumping or ignore it. Help ?!

I'm 6mo pp and I thought b I dried b up a round 4mo since I couldn't keep up with my dd's appetite. Now I still have milk and it's not heavy but not drying up. What should I do? My dd has been eating solids and on formula for a while now so should I even attempt to bf or pump and give her bm again? Feedback and personal stories very welcome.

It kind of depends on what you want. If you want to go back to BFing then go for it. If you don't, then don't.

I guess if it were me, I would pump and see how much I could get out of one session. If it's more than an ounce or two, I might try to see if I can increase my supply more by pumping and nursing more often. But BFing is important to me and I like that it offsets formula costs. It would also depend on if LO would go back to nursing. If not, I don't think I'd be down with pumping exclusively for just a tiny bit of milk.
