is it possible to go back to br___tfeeding a 3 1/2 week old newborn? I had to stop br___tfeeding the first week due to baby having jaundice and had to supplement him with formula so he can poop more. After jaundice was over he wouldn't latch on anymore. It's usually a struggle btwn us two to br___tfeed. If he does latch on, it would only be on the left br___t and only for about 10-15 mins. Now my milk supply is slowly disappearing. I would really want for him to br___tfeed again :(

yep! i have a 6 week old and began using a nipple shield (you can find them anywhere they sell medela pump accessories). I got mine from babies r us, only 6.00. You put it on your nipple and the milk goes through the tiny holes at the end. it feels like a bottle nipple to the baby, so she drinks. Try it out. good luck

there is a medicine you can take that will increase your prolactin. I took it when my supply was low with my daughter. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of it. Maybe you could ask your dr.??
