I received the following from Colleen Dunhill Jones, the list owner of BFAR,
and am posting it here at her request, in case anyone has a mom (or mom-
to-be) who qualifies.  They only take women who have undergone reduction
mammoplasty and are (or want to) BF, not LC's (or others) who may be
professionally interested, but haven't had the procedure.

BFing after Breast Reduction - New Listserv

A new email list has been established as a forum for support and exchange of
information among women who have had reduction mammoplasy (breast
reductions) and who are contemplating or currently breastfeeding.  Topics
for discussion pertain to all aspects of breastfeeding in relation to the
unique challenges of doing so after breast surgery.  We are a very
supportive group and have found a wonderful kinship in talking to other
women who have had such similar experiences.  We have also learned a great
deal from each other and welcome new information and the opportunity to
provide support to others who are going through this, too.

Unfortunately, this is not a forum for discussion of topics pertaining to
general information about breast reductions, so only those women who have
already had the surgery and who are pregnant and want to breastfeed or are
currently breastfeeding will be eligible to subscribe.  The good news is
that this list is very low-volume, but every post is a gem.  As of this
date, though, it is not available in digest format.

If you are interested in subscribing, please send your request, along with a
brief description of your history and current situation to
[log in to unmask]   We'll look forward to meeting you!

Jonathan, for Colleen
