I have been working with a breastfeedung mother who had reduction surgery 5
years ago. After a month of frequent nursing, using an SNS, and taking
fenugreek, she is still getting only an ounce or two per day. She had four
children prior to this surgery, so she was familiar with the changes in her
breast during pregnancy. She reports that she experienced no changes this
time. She contacted me about buying breastmilk from a milk bank or local
mothers. She desperately wants this baby to have breastmilk. I certainly
would love to help her, but realize my liability. Has anyone else dealt with
a similar situation? I would assume you must have a doctor's prescription for
milk from the milk banks, but don't know for sure.
