Hi ladies. Just curious if anyone has been able to breastfeed after having surgery on their breasts?
About 6 or 7 years ago I had an emergency surgery on a few lumps found in my left breast. They cut around the bottom half of the areola, and then proceeded to remove the lumps that were at the bottom of my breast.
I have always had my heart set on breastfeeding. And now I find myself worrying that I won't be able to.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but it is on my mind. What if I am unable to feed from my left breast, but my right is working fine. Would I be able to breast feed with the use of only one breast? Or would it not be logical (unable to support nutritional needs, too painful?)
Thanks.
