Re: breastfeeding after tonsillectomy

[Guest guest]

Yes, we have already gone over that.  I sent her plenty of other mother's experiences with this type of surgery.  She was asking for a medical reference to show the doc.   Is there a study out there that show's the outcomes of breastfeeding vs. waiting to heal first?

I would suggest the mother explains to the doctor that nursing is different to sucking through a straw, and then ask him for HIS references because she really would like to learn more about this.What a crock!

Surely bottle feeding IS more like drinking through a straw?normaNorma Ritter, IBCLC, RLCBreastfeeding Matters in the Capital Regionwww.NormaRitter.com

Hello all...  I have a mom who is looking for information to share with the surgeon about breastfeeding after a tonsillectomy.  I know that I've heard it's ok, even encouraged, but I'm looking for a link to information to share.

many thanks,Jeannine s, B.A., IBCLCSchenectady, NY

Me too! It is such a painful procedure that he really needed the comfort of breastfeeding as well. Dana Schmidt, BS, RN, IBCLCCradlehold Breastfeeding Education & Supportwww.cradlehold.netPlease

Yes, I'm looking for information about breastfeeding a toddler after the child has his tonsils out. The surgeon mentioned the no straw sucking, but I know that I have read some where that breastfeeding is ok. I just need something the mother can bring to the surgeon to show that it is ok to resume breastfeeding.
