I have a four month old who I have been brestfeeding up until a few days ago when i decided to put her on the bottle, now i am completely regretting my decision, but as it has been a few days my milk supply has decreased dramatically, is it possible to increase it again by putting her back on the breast?

yes it is possible. nurse nurse nurse! do u have a pump? i would pump inbetween nursing sessions or when she gets a bottle. how long has it been since she last nursed? if it has just been 2 or 3 days i don't think it should take too long for you to get your supply back. some women find that eating oatmeal helps their supply. there are also herbs you can take.

Eat a lot& drink milk if possible which increases the milk supply and nurse more often.

it is a myth that drinking milk increases your milk supply. keeping hydrated is very important but just drinking cow's milk doesn't make your milk supply go up.

Melissa is right,but according to old saying drinking hot milk could help it

if you know the advice you are giving is wrong then why are you even commenting on people's questions? there are enough myths out there that confuse new moms please stop spreading more. i have websites and sources to back up all my information. if i don't then i do not post it.

Get your baby back on your boob. That will increase your supply.

Hot milk only increases your supply because it relaxes you. Just relax and nurse your baby.
