If you are no longer making milk I was told no. Once you stop and your supply ends there is no switching back. Thats what I have heard

I believe it actually is possible, though probably difficult. Here’s an article from La Leche League about it: https://llli.org/breastfeeding-info/adoption/

Are you still producing milk or has your supply fully dried out?

I’m still producing milk , i’m waiting for my pump to come in any day now and I’m hoping that’ll help produce more

thank you !!🫶🏽

You should be able to slowly switch back to breast, mostly through structured pumping a lot of placing baby on the breast as well as skin to skin contact. The below are super useful:

Since you’re still producing, probably! I would look into renting a hospital pump if you can even though you have a pump on the way. My hospital charged $25 weekly I think but if you’re trying to build supply, it would be worth it! Kellymom.com is a great resource too
