  • Purpose : Relactation refers to the re-establishment of a milk supply and nursing after the cessation of nursing for a variable period. We aimed to analyze the practical issues related to successful relactation in the lactation clinic. Methods : The medical records of 51 mothers who had visited the lactation clinic for relactation were retrospectively analyzed. Breastfeeding greater than 90% was considered to as relactation success. Perinatal characteristics, the number of visits to the clinic, need for medication and the breastfeeding supplementer, and the reason for failure were analyzed. Results : Relactation appears to be easier for women who had lactated previously. With optimal care, support and motivation, some who had never lactated were able to start lactation. Conclusion : Relactation is a practical method to ensure breastfeeding in motivated women. Supplemental use of drugs and the breastfeeding supplementer system contribute to the success of relactation.

  • Purpose: An increase in the breastfeeding rate has been followed by an increase in the number of mothers seeking help in relactation. We investigated the factors related to successful relactation by assessing the impact of medications, supplementer, consultations, and family support. Methods: A retrospective review of the medical records and telephone survey of mothers who had visited the relactation clinic were conducted from January 2004 to April 2007. Results: Data from 84 mothers were analyzed to identify the factors associated with success in relactation. Seventy-five percent of the mothers succeeded in obtaining exclusive breastfeeding. Success in relactation was associated with informed referral from medical personnel, the use of galactogogues, and family support. Conclusion: This study provides new and noteworthy insights concerning relactation. This highlights the need to inform the mothers about the data of relactation, to use galactogogues, and to have their families involved for psychological support and endurance during visits to the relactation clinic.
