Yes, the same process that can cause a woman who has never breastfed to start producing milk can be used on a woman who has breastfed,

Physical stimulation (Pumping/sucking) or hormonal via drugs/herbs can return milk production.

In my opinion (mother of two breastfed children) you can. If you have stopped breast feeding, the milk production in your breasts continued can result in accumulating milk causing mastitis. As a precaution you can pump out the excess milk but in small dosage so that breast stop producing milk by themselves.

Yes, definetely! These are totally separate areas of the body. If a doctor gave you oral antibiotics, as long as they are compatible with lactation; you should continue breastfeeding. There are plenty of antibiotics that are safe while breastfeeding, so there is no reason why you couldn't continue to breastfeed. You should always let your doctor and pharmacist know you are breastfeeding so they will consider this with your prescription.


Can you breastfeed during an Atkins diet?

Yes you can breastfeed while on the Atkins diet. I did the Atkins diet right after I had my 1st child and there were no problems. I had even asked my Daughters pediatrician and he said there was no problem as long as I took a multi vitamin everyday. I love the Atkins diet, worked for me and I lost about 50 pounds in 3 months time. If I needed to lose weight, I would definitely do it again.
