I've posted on my blog about how I regret giving up breastfeeding ( http://www.bad-mummy.com/?p=22 ). Though I tried to ignore it and even gave away my pump this feeling never went away.

It's been in the back of my mind for a while now that I could try to get Miss E back to breastfeed - actually for us it'd be like the first time seeing as she never really breastfeed before I got desperate to get her home. I've read stories about woman who've adopted children and learned to breastfeed them ( http://www.llli.org//NB/NBJulAug06p166.html ) so, theoretically at least, if they can do it I should be able to too. Right?

Honestly, I don't know if I will yet. I don't know if I have the fortitude to deal with the disappointment of Miss E rejecting the boob day after day. Not mention the stamina to deal with all the pumping, oh my gawd the pumping. Not to mention that I have no idea how I'm going to afford a new breast pump because there is absolutely no way I can hand express 8 - 10 times a day everyday.

Feel free to add you opinion or experience - I'd REALLY like to hear from other mums who've gone back to breastfeeding after a break.
