Getting my milk back

I started drying up 2 weeks ago and my LO has decided he's not loving formula? Is it possible to get my milk back after that long?

    I've heard adoptive mothers can induce lactation so I'd think it's possible...

    Check out kellymom.com. It's called relactation, I believe.

    My friend started getting milk and she hasn't nursed her daughter since she was 14 months. She's 2.5 now. She blames me and another friend of ours who is also nursing, we've been at her house a lot lately.

    My aunt had stopped breastfeeding and went for surgery. After the surgery she dreamt she was nursing her child again and woke up leaking milk.

    (This is what I was told. My family is Spanish and tends to make shit up sometimes. But here's hoping!)

    Damn; I couldn't even lactate properly the first time and people can just dream about it and get it back? Don't mind me turning green with jealousy over here.

    Good luck, OP. I know it is doable, but it takes a lot of work. KellyMom does have some good tips for relactating.

    Edited because words are hard.

    My friend swears by this soup...I have milk, but feel like my hormones are changing and my supply might be dipping. Going to try it this week. Also, I make overnight oats every night to grab in the am. Again, I have milk, but I'll let you know if this helps with increase.

    3-5 pieces of bone in chicken (thighs)
    2 cups unsalted peanuts
    4-6 cloves raw garlic (whole is fine)
    1-2 green mangos ( I got them at the Asian grocery store near my house).

    Cover with water.

    Simmer or boil until chicken is cooked. I did slow cooker overnight.

    Pull out chicken, shred. Set aside. Emulsify soup. Add additional chicken stock if too thick. Add chicken back.
