title: Relactation.
abstract: Relactation may be useful in the developing world either if the child has been ill and unable to feed for a time or the mother is ill or has died. Relactation appears to be easier with a younger infant and in women who have lactated previously. However, with appropriate care, support and motivation even some women who have never been pregnant or who have been pregnant but never lactated may be able to start lactation.
