I regret stopping breastfeeding. How do I start again?

ShutterstockMany women find breastfeeding difficult and stop before they planned. Some women are relieved to stop. But others regret it.
If you regret stopping, you may be able to give it another go, even if you no longer have any milk. This may be possible even if it’s been weeks or months since you last breastfed.
