Re-lactation success stories

There are several of us on here trying to re-lactate. Berrybuzz for one is doing awesome! Me on the other hand... it's slow going.

I know I saw at least one ticker that showed re-lactation success. If you have successfully re-lactated, I was wondering if you would mind sharing your experiences and journey through it. I think it would help those of us trying right now to get a little perspective, and know that this really can be successful.

Thanks so much!

    you will get it i promise. oh and the COOKIES taste AWESOME. totally addictive.

    and seem to be working slowly. however i learned the hard way NOT to mix brewers yeast with milk, i just about GAGGED. so ill stick to cookies. and mixing the yeast in my oatmeal.

    and thank you for posting this im sure there are ladies that have go through it.

    not re-lactating but trying to increase my supply which was basically zero.

    a few weeks ago i'd only get .5 oz when pumping.  now i'm at 1.5 oz each session (every 3-4 hours) and can give dd 6 oz of bm each day.

    after a major failure with reglan, i've just ordered domperidone and hoping that helps!

    i was pumping nothing 2 weeks go and within 24hours i had some output, sometimes it takes months for woman to see results with Domperidone, some see results right away.  i was about where you are at, except i couldnt pump anything, but i could self express drops. so you are welcome to join us its almost like you are re-lactating. im pumping as much as i can during the day (im a stay at home mom so i know i can do it more then some of the working moms.) but try and pump every 2-3 hours vs the 3-4 hours you are doing it now. also try and pump between 1am-5am (i know imiss this too because my daughter sleeps through the night) but most woman get more output at that time.
