Yes, you can bring your milk back if you've only not BF'd for a few days.  The pump will help that.  Put baby to breast and let nurse, then pump in between to build milk supply up.  There's also a tea that you can drink to help with milk supply.  Local LaLeche League should be able to help with that.

I too have always had that question.  I'm envious of you guys getting to bfing your babies but I remember being a human pacifier myself w/my other ones.  I wish Noah would take a paci.

haha!  yes my addy is almost 7 months and tonight nursed for a freakin hour!! cat napped and went right back at it.  if that little girl doesnt sleep through the night....im her pacifier though so who knows.  i really dont mind, i love how she rubs my skin, sighs with ;happiness and smiles like im better than chocolate!! lol

i remember when she was about 8 weeks she started cluster feeding at night.  after a few weeks of doing this she started sleeping more at night.  dont discourage it, it will eventually work out in your favor!

Sometimes it's every 2 hours, sometimes every 3 hours sometimes every 30 min.....I don't know why I bother wearing a shirt anymore. Just walking around the house with my boobs hangin' out.
