Dear Lactation Consultant,
My name is Amy and I went to my OB/GYN for my annual and I asked her was there anything I could take to reestablish my milk supply. It's been a 3 ½ month break since I nursed my son (he's 5 ½ months) and she stated once the milk ducts dry up its not possible to relactate. Is this true or not? I just want piece of mind while I start this quest because others say that it is possible but the professional that I'm putting my trust in says no. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
It is not uncommon to hear a mother nursing a sick newborn or relactating for a sick child to refer to her colostrum (or pre-milk in the case of a relactating or adoptive breastfeeding mother) as "liquid gold."
