Hello! Mom of 3 here.
My youngest is 18 months old and has not nursed in about a year. At 6 months old, he straight up refused to nurse. Because he was born early, at the advice of many people I trust, I started supplementing with formula. He thrived on it, and I do not regret that decision. He was my third baby in 4 years, and I just could not keep up with his needs nutritionally.
However, lately, he has shown interest in nursing again. He has always been on the small side, so I am wondering if both him and my body on telling me he needs breastmilk again in order to beef up some. I notice that around the times he shows an interest in nursing, my breasts are really tender and I feel almost like a letdown. Not sure if this is just remembering him nursing, or if it is my body tell me to start nursing again.
Any advice would be appreciated! I am not at all opposed to nursing him again.
