Relactating

Has anyone stopped breastfeeding/pumping and picked it back up?
I mentioned wishing I hadn’t stopped in passing to my friend and she told about relactation and I looked into it. A little backstory… my daughter never latched without a nipple shield. She had a tongue tie and we got it clipped before we left the hospital. I exclusively breastfed her for about 5.5 weeks. We have her a bottle at night to make sure she ate enough (I wasn’t sure I was producing enough milk because she was constantly cluster feeding) and then one morning she refused to nurse.
That’s been about 13 weeks ago. I’m about a week into pumping and trying to produce milk again. Does anyone have any experience with this?
