Can i still try to breastfeed my 10 months infirm babe-in-arms though i lactate extremely little?
Hi,
I had my baby girl 10 months back. at first i tried to breastfeed her but no milk be expressed at that time. furthermore she refuse as she was a premature and she was put into incubator and anyone tube fed. i have tried many times to breastfeed her but i do not know how. i aim help from the nurses and they showed me how but i barely lactated at that time. I am so frustrated. i have tried to pump it out, slowly wipe my breast. i pinched my nipples and only few drops expressed. Now at 10 months old, i feel richly regret and frustrated that i am unable to breastfeed my daughter. Now i am wondering, is there any breast milk left? any if in attendance are,is there any way that i could make myself lactating again? please, i be aware of really guilty. any advice?
there is a pill that can net you lactate. ask your doctor. i am getting it next week because i am having trouble making milk(i have a 3 week old). but by 10 months your infant might not want/be able to breastfeed now...she hasnt done it much before, so she might bite.
Some women simply can't lactate and it's not a big deal. Just the way they were made. However, if you can receive your daughter to latch on and suck every few hours there's a chance your milk supply could increase. Drink lots of water, try hot showers and no so binding bras.
You have to try not to feel guilty, sometimes these things aren't our judgment. It may be a bit of effort to re-establish your supply, so make sure you have considered it very well before you try... how long do you plan on feeding if you can start, are you going to bottle feed aswell?
To return with your supply going, the best thing you can do is nurse your daughter as often as possible. You will probably have to contribute her a bottle after you have let her nurse for a while (1/2 hour or so if it doesn't hurt too much) just so she is getting adequate milk until your supply picks up.
If you use a pacifier, I would stop for a while, let her use your breast as a pacifier. The more she sucks, the more you will produce. Make sure you have a glass of sea every time you feed so you don't get dehydrated.
It is possible, you only have to put in some effort.
Don't do it out of guilt tho, your infant will be fine with whatever you decide.
I thought my son to nurse at 8 months ripened so there is NO reason why you cannot now!

Answers: The problem might be more of "will your child know how to nurse at the breast at 10 months of age". Bottles ruined my son and I was unable to bring back him to nurse after he started to have bottles.
If you try to switch a bottle fed child to the breast at 10 months of age it may not go capably.
But if you still have a little bit of milk left within there and want to try to nurse again then go for it. The more they nurse the mire you produce so it may still be possible for you to up your supply.
You enjoy nothing to feel guilty about. You can try letting your kid suck but don't depend on your breast milk being enough to satisfy her at this stage. I don't conjecture it is worthwhile putting yourself through the agonies of trying to re establish your milk production. Your baby must be growing well now and you should try to delight in this time. When you are next pregnant you will have the opportunity to breast feed. Many women who are unsuccessful within breast feeding their first child find it easier the second time.
To establish a good Supply now would clutch some time and by that time it would probably be required for only a short period. It is unfortunate but that's time. Wait until you have your second child and try again then. Source(s): experience
