Question
My baby girl is 5 months old. she stopped feeding at the end of 3rd month. I give her formula milk enfalac A+ stage one. my breasts are still producing milk but little.. i want to get my baby back to breastfeed... is it possible... plz reply soon... i feel very guilty for depriving her of this precious milk.

Answer
yes you can. Get a double electric breast pump and pump every 2 hours for a couple weeks. then pump every three hours for another few weeks until your milk is back in enough to nurse full time. you can continue trying to put her to breast and hope she takes back to it also.

good luck!
