Unable to breastfeed initially due to facial paralysis , now baby can latch on but milk dried up..baby almost 2 months . help! i want to breastfeed!

Contact your OB: There are some hormonal ways to induce lactation in those who have run into your situation but these require some skill.Contact your OB & see if s/he has some skill in this area or the local breastfeeding support groups may know of someone that can assist you.
