Hi, I'm finally back.
I picked up a new patient the other day who is a 5 month old past breast feeder.
The baby had cardiac surgery a few months ago and in the time leading up to the surgery went from breastfeeding to expressed fortified milk feeding to formula.

pause for the collective grown

The last the baby was to breast was a few brief attempts in August. Mom stopped pumping on Oct 23 but after our talk she is going o start pumping again.

Anyone have any experience getting a baby of this age to the breast again?
