A. Tips for inducing relactation Let your baby come to the breast as often as they wish.Make sure your baby is well latched, taking in a good portion of your nipple and areola and sucking effectively.Continue to offer supplementary milk so that your baby will continue to grow and thrive as you rebuild your milk supply.
