Mary,
I have seen mothers with accessory breasts, including axillary breasts.
They were able to suppress lactation in the supernumerary breasts with
ice packs and non-expression, while continuing to breastfeed on the
'normal' breasts.
By the way, I always alert the mom and her health care provider to the
existence of the accessory breasts, so this tissue can be included in
Breast Self Examination and mammography.
