Someone who has stopped breastfeeding their child, recently or in the past, can resume the production of la leche materna for her own or an adopted infant, even without a further pregnancy. La experiencia de re-lactación varía mucho de una persona a otra, pero muchos han tenido éxito en sus esfuerzos.

Re-lactation can be desired in many situations such as the illness of a young child or the lactating parent, intolerance to artificial milk, emergency situations, or the death of the lactating parent. Re-lactation can be a potentially life-saving measure.¹
