Do you of you have implants? If so, are you going to try and breatfeed? I didn't breastfeed my 2 daughter (I had alot of problems breastfeeding my first...she wasn't getting enough milk, colic, etc) but now I am considering "trying" but I am unsure if I will be able to. Just wondering if anyone else is going through the same thing.
My doctor said I should be able to because with my daughter my breasts were so engorged with milk that it clogged my milk ducts and I was in a lot of pain because I just had to let the milk dry out.
Re: Implants and breastfeeding
I'm going to try. My implants are under the muscle and were inserted in the crease under my breasts, so the ducts/glands were not disrupted at all. I'm not 100% gung-ho about it, so if it doesn't work, it doesn't work!

hmmm...mine are under the muscle as well but were inserted through a small slit under my nipple (it was 9 years ago). I guess like you said I can try and if it doesn't work, then it doesn't work.
Thanks
Thanks...I will try and ask her as well.
Wow that's good news. Thanks.

I have them and although I had problems BFing it was not due to my implants (under the muscle, incision under the nipple.) He was just a bad latcher and would fall asleep at the breast. Don't do what I did though. I was so afraid that my implants would prevent him from getting enough that I started supplementing right away. I am pretty sure that he got too used to the bottle and didn't want to do the work at the breast.
I exclusively pump now and my supply is fine.
