It was JUST this case that I learned the Power of Woman...
Mom was told she could not breastfeed due to needing to have this done.
She asked : you mean I can NEVER breastfeed? She was told - no, you could
breastfeed after it gets out of your system, but it would be too difficult
- you would have to pump and dump for 6 weeks.
She answered - DON't tell me what is too difficult - tell me what I need
to do and let ME decide if it is too difficult...
She DID pump and dump for 6, then 8 weeks (her physicist uncle tested her
milk every 3 days after 6 weeks until it was clear), then resumed providing
her baby with breast milk - baby would no longer breastfeed - but mom
pumped and fed her milk to her baby for over 9 months - baby was over 1 yr
old when she stopped pumping.
She's now a trainer for Peer Counselors... That's where I met her, at the
LLLI training.
