#1566, "Breastfeeding, getting more milk ?? is it too late to g..."


          

Hi, i have not posted in some time,,,
I had healthy triplets at 35 weeks BGB, 4.7, 4.11, 5.2 ! July 8 2011
Joseph, Rachel, and Benjamin

after my c section i pumped every three hours, and initially there was no milk, but i didnt give up, after one week i had my milk.. (colustrum initially)
and after two weeks my supply was great, i pumped and gave babies, and used formula and breast fed....
however rachel was having issues and my doctor decided to put her on alimentum special formula that is digested.
and the boys needed to gain weight and were on high calorie enfamil 22
so i only breast fed them once a day...and kinda fealt guilty if they needed more calroies and tried to pump and save...
but before i knew it things got busy, i didnt get the push and support to continue, everyone kept saying stop the breastfeeding its too much
and i slowly didnt realize i stopped pumping and only breast fed once or twice a day but because i didnt pump in middle of day i must have only had little milk...
now i really want to build up my supply and pump... but is it too late??? i just got my period last night and i pumped and only one or two milk drops came in....
i was wondering....getting to the point of my question

if the milk stops...and u got a period...can u go back to getting your milk or is it too late????when (i have been nursing once a day consecutively but i didnt have enough milk,....)

i feel that i wasnt ready to give up breastfeeding....
i also had a lot of stress past three months...
moved into a new house when babies were one month...
and i have three other kids age 8,5,3

all the internet Q&A address how to build up supply during breast feeding, but what happens if it stopped? or u stopped? and changed your mind? is it too late??? i think it is but im no expert???
in my case i nursed once a day, and always thought when im ready i can build it up...but freaked out when i got my period last night and today tried to ump and nothing came out..but a few drops....

help!!!
i guess if im forced to stop and feel like i got cheated out of this experience ill want to have more kids...
this is too much of an ending....

help.
