Ken, I believe it IS possible to restart lactation by using a breast pump for two weeks.I know this works because adoptive mothers have been successful in nursing their babies. I would also suggest that she hold newborns. (The later is my personal belief, based on conjecture; the former I have read about. Best wishes. Joyce |

The easiest and most reliable way is to have another baby! :-) Larry Larry, I would really not recommend describing having another baby as the 'easiest' way to do anything when you are posting on a forum full of people who are either pregnant or have just given birth and are coping with small babies. Especially when your gender means that you have not, at any time in the past, had the experience of having a baby yourself. ;-) To the OP, in case the question was genuine & not trolling: Google on 'relactation' and you should find a lot of detailed advice. Basically, it involves regular breast pumping and possibly some medication/herbs to duplicate the changes that happen at the end of a pregnancy to trigger lactation in the first place. But I'd recommend looking for a decent site that can give you a detailed regime. Alternatively, try finding a lactation consultant with knowledge of this rather specialist field.
