I went through this too, I know how you feel, I went through massive grief due to loss of bf. Mine did not go back to breastfeeding, but our peditrician said they sometimes do. You have to keep offering the breast. My db developed an aversion to the breast because of the pain he experienced eating, and having to lay down somewhat to bf. He stayed on the bottle, I pumped for ever but it was killing me. Reflux is just awful to go through, I hope your db gets better soon. [ Reply | More

I expressed for a month and 1/2, the pump did not work for my boobs, I even tried to squeeze it out manually at times because it hurt so bad, some people just have a harder time with the pump. I was just determined not to give db formula, it never even crossed my mind that he would get formula, ever! Eventually I had to, I was totally grief stricken about it. Baby was sick and screaming constantly, and no bf, very depressing situation. I didn't love mommyhood until reflux got better, it is a different world. [ Reply | More

After a month or so on pumped milk, mine wouldn't take the breast anymore. That said, I pumped a LOT, and the supply stayed strong. You could try a hospital-grade pump if you're really having issues because it helps with supply. [ Reply | More

GL with it. And pump a lot--every 3-4 hours during the day and definitely before bed and first thing in the am (which is when I would always get the most milk). A hospital pump will also make the pumping sessions much faster, fwiw. [ Reply | More
