hello! yes i get that magazine too. i also was a member of the breast feeding after reduction group. it just was not successful for me. i was able to give him maybe 1-2 ounces per day but my blood pressure shot up after my baby. my doctor said i was in danger of having a stroke and advised me to stop the "little bit of breastfeeding" i was doing in order to be put on a certain medication to bring it down. anyway long story short is i should have just kept going with it but my family was so worried and pressuring me to do as the doctor told me.

Re: breastfeeding after surgery

Hi Sandy,I know it is probably too late for this baby , but I just read an article in Mothering magazine about breastfeeding after breast reduction. It is written by a mother that breastfed after breast reduction with increasing amounts of milk with each successive baby. The article is in the nov. dec. issue.Sometimes we are told things that just aren't true. I know when I had my first baby by C-section 30 years ago I was told I couldn't give birth vaginaly. Wrong! I had my next 3 babies naturaly with out any problems.www.mothering.com-- In RawDairy , "Sandy Redding" <srr1933@b...> wrote:> At what point in heating milk do I start to loose the benefit of raw milk. My baby is on the homemade formula and i warm his bottle. I try to take it easy but sometimes I make it too hot and have to run it under water. Today I tested a bottle I warmed for him and it was about 94 degrees. Is he still getting the benefit of raw?

I was curious about this subject. I was told the same thing when I had my c-section. However, I wasn't interested in having more babies, so it didn't matter. I was then told that if there is no scar tissue attaching to the stomach lining from the scar (my scar is stem to stern), there would be no problem in giving birth.

As far as breastfeeding after a reduction, I can't understand that. I do however, understand not breast feeding after enlargement due to the inserts they use.

I'm not sure about the stem to stern cuts, I was told that you could

not give birth naturally after that cut because the uterus lining

would be to wek from the expanded pressure of pregnancy. (Could be a

load of horse shit though.... came from a regular doctor!)

My emergency c-section was a bikini cut, and the next baby was the

easiest birth of them all... naturally, no pain medicine, less than 30

minutes active labor, and of all the strange things, my water never

broke...it came out intact just before the babe!

Sandy,

If there is one thing that I have learned since my first baby was

born, it is to follow my instincts! The only person who is the mother

of your baby is you, and you have a closer bond with that baby than

anyone else! Your body took care of the baby for 9 months

(approximately) while you were pregnant, and it is more connected to

what that baby needs than anyone else (including the doctor)... learn

to trust those instincts. There is nothing wrong with getting advice,

and researching ideas, but in the end your body knows best what those

litlle ones need.

"As far as breastfeeding after a reduction, I can't understand that. I do however, understand not breast feeding after enlargement due to the inserts they use."

Its not that i didn't want to or didn't try. Lots of women that have had breast reductions, say more than 5 -10 years ago cannot breast feed no matter how hard they try. It depend on the type of surgery you had and how much was taken out.

I can understand it completely! God designed things to work, if we

take out parts, they may not work right anymore!

That would be why I have a droopy tummy no matter what I do! An

emergency c-section, and I have a lumpy tummy for the rest of my

life... and a beautiful son.

L. - who is still getting over the emotional trauma of getting

cut open 4.5 years ago!

That makes sense. I didn't think they actually dealt with the mammary glad. That's how much I know about it. Being a member of the "Itty bitty ti--y committee", it's not something I've ever had to think about. I've discussed it with my daughter tho. She's just not wanting to deal with it.
