Has anyone or knows anyone who has succesfully done this? I know I stopped breastfeeding as I didnt think Seb was getting enough with being a big boy (weigh in today and now 16lb 3oz :D ) but I am really missing that closeness with him of only me being able to feed and give him the best milk of all.

I was thinking about if I would be able to do it the other night as, when we were in bed getting ready for a bottle and he was trying to get my breast. I still have a very tiny amount of milk coming through. Mentioned it to the HV today and she said I could try re-introducing him to breastmilk.

I have been reading up on it and it may take a little while but seriously considering giving it a go. As he is so big, now at 8 weeks and on the 99th centile, would it matter that he lost a little weight whilst trying giving BF another go.

Any advice ladies?
Thanks

How are things going? Did you try him on the breast? Kellymom have some really good tips on relactating :) He might not lose any weight, Alex is on the 98th centile and is breastfed, but if he does then just take it in your stride, don't be pressurised into giving up if its what you want to do :)
