[quote=Anonymous]I’ve had success getting my supply back after stopping. When my baby was 4 months I got Lyme Disease and couldn’t breastfeed while taking the medication. I tried pump and dump for a week but then decided to switch to formula and completely stopped pumping for the last 2 weeks or so. My baby ended up not liking formula (I tried so many kinds!) so I started pumping again with my Spectra. I started 20min every 3 hours and right before bed (even if it hadn’t been a full 3 hrs). After maybe 5 days of exclusively pumping and adding in breastfeeding my schedule looked like: 5:30am pump 20min (I like to exercise early in the morning), 7:30am nurse; ~10am pump 20min at work; 1pm pump 20min at work; 5:00 nurse; 7:30pm nurse to sleep; 10pm pump 20min. I supplemented with a bottle after the nursing sessions until my supply came back, I think that was within 7-10 days. I was able to continue breastfeeding (and pumping at work) until I decided to wean at 1 year. Good luck! [/quote]
