Breastfeeding after prior breast reduction

[Lorik325]

I had a breast reduction around 13 years ago-years before I ever thought about breastfeeding a baby. Now I'm 20 weeks pregnant and worried I won't be able to breastfeed when my little one arrives.
Does anyone have any advice or resources they'd point me to. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Bump

I haven't got any experience sorry, but have a look at this from La Leche League. It might also be helpful to talk to your local lll leader and maybe give one of the [[http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/Pages/breastfeeding-help-support.aspx Bfing Helplines a call, they should be a bit quieter in the morning

Congratulations on your pg too

Sorry, I'll try that helpline link again, here .

It might be helpful to put the phone numbers into your phone too for when LO arrives. Always best to seek support before niggles turn into problems

Thank you!! I'll take a look.

No problem

Have you got any Bfing Support Groups nearby? It's always useful to go before baby arrives and they may also be able to talk to you about Bfing after a reduction

I'm not sure where to begin looking. I do have La Leche that I found online yesterday.

La Leche Leche is good

Have a look here for other local Bfing Support Groups and make sure you ask your MW
