I had an unusual call from a mom with a 19 month old. The mom breastfed the
baby for 7 months. He (the baby) "stopped" nursing. Now she belongs to an
attachment parenting group where everyone else is breastfeeding. She wants to
know how to relactate and start her child back to breastfeeding.

I can handle the relactating part but have never encountered anyone that
wanted to start after stopping such a long time. She has not put the child to
the breast since he was 7 months old. She is also unsure if she wants to start
this if she is only going to give the milk via the bottle.
They are co-sleeping and bath together.
