Hi Ilene,

I have recently seen two mothers with prolactinoma.  Both were able 
to breastfeed.  One had to be very careful as her supply has not 
really regulated.  Both will probably go back on medication to stop 
production, but are enjoying breastfeeding so do not have any plans to stop.

Regards,
