Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have experience of a breast augmentation. I mother recently spoke to me about poor weightgain in her baby and said that she had a breast augmentation. She has a scar under her breast and says that the doctor removed her nipple. I would like to know what the supply of milk was like and did the MER function well enough. I have read about it in "Breastfeeding and Human Lactation" Please e-mail me if possible. I read Gail Hertz's post about breastpumps with great interest. I usually see the hospital patients and the hospital serves a huge area ie down to Maputo in Mocambique and radiates upto 200kms in other directions. I have decided after reading Gail's post that the patients staying out the the "bush and beyond" should perhaps have a breastpump. One example - a mother phoned me from 200kms away to say that she had engorged breasts - the dyad had slept through the night - she didn't have a pump - I remembered reading in "Helping Mothers to Breastfeed" by Felicity Savage King, the advice given using hot bottles - relayed the idea onto the Mom who used it with great success. (She wasn't too keen to hand express) She said it looked very funny with a chutney bottle on one nipple and a rum bottle on the other. Perhaps its these mothers that might possibly benefit from having a breastpump. The other choice they might have is one of those "bicycle horn" pumps living in those remote areas. I think I'll go for the other option.
Have a good day.
