Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it even possible? Places where I can find some good info?

Thank you so much

I did it with my 2 month old but he never had a bottle (only the SNS with a finger). IMO the SNS saved our nursing relationship!
You (sheesh anyone for that matter) can PM me if they woudl like.

I KNOW there are mamas here who have relacted too and would probably be even better help with an older baby!

It is possible though!!

I'm in the process of relactating right now. I've increased my supply from 2 oz/day to about 15oz/ day with the use of a hospital grade pump, fenugreek, and Brewer's yeast. I pump 8 times/day 15 minutes a time, both sides. All this is being done with the help of a IBCLC. I've also switched to a the Gerber NUK rubber nipple to teach B how to suck properly. I meet with the LC today to get B to latch on. We'll see how it goes! Feel free to pm me with any questions.
