I have just heard on the national news here in the UK that women with breast implants containing soya oil have been recommended to have these removed. The reasoning is that leakage may cause cancer. Now I was only listening with half an ear so I may have got some of that wrong. However the end of the report definitely said that women with these implants are being advised not to breastfeed. Anyone know anything about this? I know that I will get calls about this at work tomorrow. My instinct says that the risks of formula would outweigh the risks of breastfeeding. What risks anyway? However if that is the official line, I don't know that I can go against it without more information. Would welcome the collective opinion.
