In the past 12 months, several moms who have had breast reduction have
rented pumps from me. 3 out of about 9 were able to successfully
breastfeed. The human body is amazing. Many of the women who rent
pumps aren't successful in establishing successful breastfeeding. I
think sometimes the women who comes for a pump & doesn't want a
consult, often has other issues at stake. Whatever amount of breastmilk
the baby receives is a plus.
One of the ladies who had had a reduction let me try Dr. Jack's breast
compression on her. It was my first time & I was pleasantly surprised
how the baby's suck changed & he began to rapidly suck & swallow. I
think breast compression turned that breastfeeding around. Mom is hard
of hearing & periodically sends me e-mails. Baby is still nursing at 8
months.
Warmly,
