I'm not sure how you can get him back on the breast.  All mine have rejected me at some point and never looked back.  Maybe it is time to just let him stay off it and enjoy having your body back.  9 months is a great effort, I wish I could get past 5 with mine!

Most women (and apparently a tiny percentage of men - tho don't quote me on that) can stimulte breastmilk, sometimes even if they have never been pregnant, with enough effort. If its only been a week you can get your supply back no problems, it will just take a lot of effort from bubs and tolerance from you to get it going again. A breastpump will help, but bubs will be the greatest stimulator for getting it back again, as they're far better at extracting milk than any pump is. Good luck with it.

I have to ask, do you want him back on the breast simply because society says you should breast feed? It's just that that often happens. If it is the case, do not feel pressured into getting him back on the breast. He's had 9 months worth of breast, that's great! There is nothing wrong with formula.

If it's something you just want to do, to get the milk flowing again maybe express some first so that it's there when you put your little one on, make help him to suckle again. I think, & I say think (maybe someone else knows?) that you can get medication to get breast milk flowing (I saw someone do that on TV years ago).

Hi!  I hope this works for you, as I know it can be done, but I am not the best person to ask as to how! 

Getting back to the breast will be one struggle - keep offering, and try relaxed times - like during a bath together and while he is asleep (not in a deep sleep).  Keeping it relaxed is vital.  These have worked for me in the past.  I think once he is on (if he can remember what to do) that will get the supply going. 

Things you can do to boost your supply include feeding lots, eating well, taking brewers yeast (or drinking guiness?) and got a mental blank - what is the other one you take at the end of pregnancy??  Anyway, good nutrition and lots of water - I took sustagen for a few weeks while I built it up.  There are also some medications that improve lactation, but you will need to ask your dr about that.

I know even adoptive mums can breast feed - so surely you can get him back on.  Good luck!  Try here too...

Why don't you contact the Le Leche league in your state and ask for some information and advice.

Relactation is possible but does take some time. being only a week out from the breast there is a good chance it will happen.

Start simply-will bub take the breast? That is usually the hardest thing. Offer the breast as much as possible in a relaxed atmosphere. If bub takes it that's good if not don't stress. Next you have to increase your supply. you can do this by offering lots of feeds and by pumping in between. Since bub is having lots of solids you won't need to increase your supply as much as someone who is exclusively feeding.

If bub doesn't take to the breast you can pump and provide BM in a bottle or purchase a supply line (or SNS) and feed bub from the breast. The counsellors with Le Leche will be able to help you heaps with this.

well dont go forcing him back on the breast get a breast pump and pump it into a bottle and see if he will have it he might like the fill of the bottle so just keep pumping the milk in a bottle and give it to him then he will get used to the breast milk again and then try the breast again when he is ready he will hop back on your breast dont stress it will happen
