DANNIIM - Big to you its so hard sometimes to do something that is "natural".
I did relacate when my DD was 12 weeks and now at 13 months we are still bf. Though we never ended up fully bf as for me it was too hard with a 2 yr old at home as well, but for me this was enough, DD was happy and healthy and I was still able to provide her with some of that yummy booby milk.
If you really want to do this then you really need to see a Lactation Consultant. They will assess your individual situation and give you advice and recommend supplements. They really are worth their weight in gold.
The most important thing will be offering the breast as often as you can, even if they arent getting a full feed, over time this will improve. One thing i was told was that how ever long it has been since you stopped bf it will take at least that long to get your supply reestablished. If you have a pump, use it and dont worry about amounts, some people can pump like a Jersey cow others (me included) just see a piddly amount.
I took fenugreek tablets (from health food stores) which some people say will help with milk production.
