So when my wee boy was about 8 months old I decided to wean him off the boob and move to FF full time, now a month or so later I am trying to get my milk back in so I can feed him at least half his feeds a day.

The dr has perscribed domperidone and it seems to be helping produce more milk, the issue is now Riley wont latch on.

Up to this week he would but when I tried him a couple of times last week he attempted to suckle for a few minutes before getting frustrated and biting me. The second time he would not let go so I had to use my stern "no" voice which makes him cry. I am wondering if he is associating BFing with being told off so wanting to see if anyone has any suggestions on how I can get him back on the boob...

i have read the previous threads on relactation but none of them cover this.

Thanks in advance, I really want to do this, I regret 100% stopping

I would get in contact with a lactation consultant in your area to help with the latching problems :-)
