I just wanted to say how grateful I am to you, kat, for bringing this up btw!
I thought I just had strange shaped boobs - just assumed, as we all have different shapes and sizes, I was just one of the unlucky ones. I'd never seen anyone with boobs like mine but I sort of excepted it after years of desperately wanting an augmentation.
Ever since I failed at breastfeeding my 1st DS, I've been told "Every woman can bf, you always supply enough on demand". This has made me miserable ever since and it always brought a tear to my eye as I know I tried so hard (if only for 5 weeks).
I now have a 5 week old DS2 and spent my entire pregnancy desperately hoping to be able to feed him exclusively, I wasn't going to give up as easily as I did with DS1 as, after all, every woman can BF and it's supply on demand right?

Now I know it's a medical condition which is beyond my control. This new revelation helps a little but still leaves me feeling angry and upset. Angry that it wasn't picked up on ages ago and upset that it's happened to me.
What interested me the most was the fact that it is connected to PCOS which I have got. Just another kick in the stomach from the evil condition which makes it extremely hard work to conceive and costs me a small fortune in waxing bills. I'm just waiting for the next thing for it to throw at me


It would be lovely to hear from women who have successfully breastfed with this condition. Also wondering how effective domperidone is? I'm seeing my GP on Weds for my 6 week check so will be asking for some......
If there are any BFing councellors out there who have come across this condition I would love to read about your experiences



. I produced colostrum during my pregnancy (though never leaked) but had very little milk and my baby lost an awful lot of weight. I'm not saying that to scare you and many women are able to brestfeed succesfully even with THB, but if I could go back in time I'd make sure I was aware of signs to look for that baby is feeding well and getting enough milk. For example, wet nappies, poos changing colour etc. However, don't be worried if baby doesn't seem settled or full after feeding particularly, or if you seem to be feeding non stop- this is normal even with mums who have an abundance of milk!
