Did an archive search and only found one mention of this,  but not needed
information.

A mother had a Fibroadenoma surgically removed a few weeks ago.   Incision
made around part of the Areola.   Dr.  advised against using that breast as it
drainded.   Mother started supplementing with bottles.   Can't pump on that
breast, as manal pump hurts the breast incision.    Not using this breast.
Complained to Doctor this week,  and he drained milk from incision area.
Told
her she needed this wound to heal and would probably have to wean entirely for
this to happen.

Any ideas?    Mom sees Doctor again the beginning of week and doesn't want to
wean!     I don't understand the reasoning for not just nursing on this side
and keeping wound clean.
