One of my co-leaders has a question about her nursing 2 year old. Her
daughter, who is somewhat pudgy, has breasts. She is worried that it is 1)
from hormones in her milk causing her daughter to have breasts. Is this
possible? Or 2) because her daughter nurses at night that the extra
calories are causing her to have more weight and causing her to have
breasts. Basically she is worried that it is something that she is doing
that is causing this in her daughter. She states that her breasts have
always seemed big - the swelling really didn't go down after birth - and
she is hoping that some of the great minds here on Lactnet can give her
some answers.
Thanks for your help.
