i have a friend that was breastfeeding her newborn and she stoped about 2 mo ago!! I really do think that she now regrets it! Is there anyway that you could your milk supply back and if she does will she be confussing her baby? I have given her my thoughts but she wanted other mothers opions also!!

I believe that is possible to restart but can be very difficult and needs a lot of patience.
I can not really pass ocmment myself on whether or not it is right for your friend to restart as I don't know what her reasons are but brest milk is very good nourishment for a baby.
I would maybe ask your friend to have a look at this website. They offer help to women who are wanting to restart brestfeeding and I think you may find them very informative.
Good luck

It does say that in fact you can but this is normally if they mother or baby has been ill. You can have a look at that site though.
They are a goverment organisation that are dedicated to helping mothers with brest feeding in the united states.
