Re-lactation After Weaning: Possible Even a Year Later

Relactation is possible months to a year+ after weaning. Prolactin and oxytocin can remain responsive to stimulation (breastfeeding, pumping, nipple stimulation).

Caveats: Milk composition may differ; supply may be partial; not a sole nutrition source for infant without assessment. Work with a lactation consultant.
