I have worked with a mother who had open heart surgeries as a child and
subsequent surgeries also. She also had breast reconstruction due to the lack of
breast tissue growth of the breast that was most affected by the surgery.
Her 'good' breast functioned well enough considering it was also augmented to
make the set a match. Wish they had left the healthy breast alone of course,
but she was a young girl at the time and did not know to consider future
consequences to her breastfeeding With her second child she had substantially
more milk in both breasts, but the surgery affected breast still made minimal
milk. She breastfed using a supplemental device at the breast for several
months, introduced solids at 6 months, cups of supplement instead of SNS and
then continued to breastfeed well past one year.
Take care,
