Denise,
This mother's breast reduction surgery will affect her milk production, in
addition to the other factors of her history. In these cases, a nursing
supplementer enables the mother to nurture at breast. The women I've worked
with who've had a reduction and the two with insufficient glandular tissue
all used a supplementer for varying periods of time and were glad they did.
It softened the blow of not producing milk. Let's know how this case turns
out.
