Jaye,

I would use hypericum homeopathically. Email me privately if you want to discuss it further.



I have a 9 month old baby. I had breast augmentation in 1998 (the Dr. did

not provide me with all of the side effects of the surgery). It caused some

major nerve damage to my areolas. I am able to produce some milk (about 24

oz per day). However I am unable to nurse due to the let down reflex issue

(the babies get frustrated because only 1/2 oz comes out at a time, then I

have to switch sides for another 1/2 oz. After that it is massage then nurse

and switch). It is very time consuming and stressful, but I really want to

provide what I can for my child and be more successful at breastfeeding.

Is there anything I can due to repair the nerve damage to allow the let down

reflex get signaled and start working? I have tried Domperidone, all types

of tinctures and teas. I continue to pump and bottle feed what I can, but I

wish I could do more.

Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
