Breastfeeding is *more* than breastmilk.  It is true that women who have had
this sort of surgery produce less milk than if they had not had the surgery.
But less can still mean all the baby needs.  Nevertheless, even if the baby
does not get *all* the milk as breastmilk, does that somehow mean that no
breastmilk is better than some?  With a good start, with breast compression,
with herbs, the mother can produce a fair amount.  And if she does not
produce all, she can supplement with a lactation aid (supplementer).  And
what's wrong with that?
