Catherine said, "Breast reduction - free nipple graft (over 20 years before having the baby) - only saw one of these, mom worked very, very hard and is making all but 4-8 oz of the baby's needs per day" How is this possible? My understanding is that the nipple is picked up and moved to a new location without necessarily being near the ducts. I thought this was the surgery that led to "the milk won't come out", (in the words of a mom who had a reduction decided that it was hopeless by a week postpartum) as in, milk was produced but there was no way that any milk made it's way to the nipple. frankly, I was surprised any surgeon would still perform that particular surgery. kate __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
