Relactation Possible?

Relactation is definitely possible, but honestly it takes time and consistency so don't expect results overnight. Since you've been off for 2-3 weeks, your supply will have dropped significantly, but many mums have managed to rebuild it by pumping regularly (usually 8-10 times a day) or latching frequently. That said, I'd really encourage you to chat with a lactation consultant at KKH or a private one before you start, because they can give you a proper plan tailored to your situation and timeline before you head back to work. The mental side matters just as much as the physical side, so make sure this time around feels less stressful for you rather than adding more pressure.

Yes relactation is possible but it takes a lot of patience and consistency so don't give up too fast! I also struggled with breastfeeding and what helped me was to latch or pump very frequently like every 2-3 hours to stimulate supply, and drink a lot of water and eat lactation foods like fenugreek or oats to help boost milk. But mummy, most importantly please don't be too hard on yourself because fed is best at the end of the day, whether breast milk or formula your baby will still grow up healthy and strong, so just try your best and if it doesn't work out also must be kind to yourself okay! 🤍
