Hi April: Your ideas are creative and broad based. We might try thinking from this baby's perspective. Why should baby bother to go back to breast? What's safe and reliable and fun about breast? The month interval makes me think of what we've told moms who have accidentally weaned: that it could take at least as long as baby hasn't been nursing for baby to return to breast. At least of month of skin to skin, fun, massage, apology, sneaking up on baby, and continuing to make tons of milk is a plan. warmly, -- Nikki Lee RN, BSN, Mother of 2, MS, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI, ANLC, CKC Author:* Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Breastfeeding Therapy* www.nikkileehealth.com https://www.facebook.com/nikkileehealth *Get my FREE webinar series* *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
