Possible to reestablish milk supply after weaning?

I stopped breastfeeding after 6 weeks due to bouts of mastitis and I still feel guilty for giving it up and I'm wondering if it's possible to reestablish my supply again.  I'm 11 weeks postpartum.  Anyone done it before?

    It can be done.  Google "re-lactation."  Basically you need to put the baby back on the breast ASAP. 

    Back when I was born in the dark ages, my mom got the "shot" to dry her up right when I was born, but then ended up starting to BF me when I was 2 weeks old - so the milk can come back, especially since your baby isn't that old and it hasn't been too long. 

    Good luck!
