Dear wise women,
Permission to post: I am currently seeing a mother with
hypoplasia. She is proud of her achievements in providing the
majority of her baby's needs breastfeeding. And she has done and is
doing a great deal in relation to working to increase her milk
supply. We have been discussing what might happen over the next
months as she continues to breastfeed and supplement as needed. I
have been looking at what materials I have here at home, and have not
found anything about possible increased glandular development through
stimulation (e.g. breastfeeding)
so, my questions are: Is there any chance of increased glandular
development? (references also please, so that I can read and learn)
Would there be any chance of increased development in a second
pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding? (again, references please)
From my work with the mother, there appears to be a genetic
link. Her sister also appears to have some hypoplasia (she was
visiting at one of my home visits and was included in the
discussion). There is also a history of thyroid problems that is
being addressed.
Thanks,
