You can try: It is challenging to restart breasfeeding after you have stopped but it never hurts to try. I would schedule an appointment with a local lactation consultant and start using a breast pump to try to restart milk production.

Maybe: Once you've stopped breastfeeding it is hard to reinitiate lactation. If your breasts are still leaking, you could try pumping with a hospital grade pump 8 times a day or have baby di o it, but most kids won't feed that much if they'd had a break for that long. You can also talk to your doctor about medicines that can sometimes help, it is usually unrealistic to expect a full supply back.

Restart breastfeedin: It is possible to replenish your supply, it will take perseverance. You will have to latch the baby on as frequently as possible, you will need to supplement her with formula after each bf bc your supply will be low. In between feeds you need to pump also. Very important to stay hydrated, drink plenty of water.
