我中断母乳喂养一段时间后想重新开始该怎么做？ I would like to resume breastfeeding after an interruption. How do I relactate?

Sometimes a mother decides to resume breastfeeding, whether due to an emergency when there is a shortage of other food, after a separation, etc. Often a mother can rebuild a milk supply very successfully, with patience and determination (and a cooperative baby). La Leche League‘‘s BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK (p. 52) recommends the following strategies for relactation and induced lactation, to stimulate milk production:

有时候妈妈们会因某一意外情形比如缺乏其他食物或与宝宝分离后重聚，想恢复母乳喂养。只要有足够的耐心和决心，再加上宝宝的配合，妈妈们通常都能成功的恢复产奶。国际母乳会的母乳喂养问答手册第52页推荐了以下几种刺激泌乳的方法（适用于重新泌乳和诱导泌乳）：

Putting baby to breast to suck at each feeding and for comfort between feedings as often as possible. 每次哺乳时让宝宝吸吮两边乳房，哺乳间隙尽可能频繁的让宝宝进行安抚吸吮。

Using a nursing supplementer (if available and if conditions are sanitary enough to make its use safe) to provide expressed milk at the breast while baby sucks at the breast.在宝宝吸吮乳房时,用哺乳辅助器（如果有并且卫生条件有保障时）提供给孩子事先挤出的乳汁。

Taking herbs/medication that increase milk supply. 用草药或其他药物增奶。请遵医嘱。

If you do use herbs or medications to increase your supply, be sure to put the baby to the breast frequently, to remove as much milk as possible. This will help avoid breast infections or plugged ducts.

如果服用草药或药物增奶，要确保让宝宝频繁吸吮乳房，尽可能多地排空乳房。这有助于预防乳房发炎或乳腺堵塞。
