'Can I breastfeed my son after 10 weeks of not pumping or nursing him? I want to feed him breastmilk again but I'm not sure if I can. I give him formula now. Any advice? Really need help!

DEFINITELY!!!!

Get him on your breast as often as possible to stimulate relactation.

You can also get very tiny feeding tubes that you attach to your breast and feed him formula/pumped milk, until you are producing enough.

I am relactating also! It takes alot of patience and time. I pump every 2 hrs around the clock, and take domperidone and fenugreek. It took about 3-4 days before I saw any milk at all but one month in and I get about an ounce each time I pump.
