Hi all, PTP. A friend of mine has a 18month old with a history of cardiac surgery at 6 weeks of age, for Coarctation of Aorta. Good recovery from that. Feeding problems though, Mum with frequent mastitis, white spot, blocked ducts, saw IBCLC, posterior tongue tie, which not treated due to cardiac history, and he was thriving anyway due to Mums large supply. Dedicated Mum who persisted to this point with ongoing pain, mastitis. Anyhow things had settled for a while, pain returned, GP yesterday ultrasounded her breast and made the comment that she doesn't infact have blocked ducts, she has "dilated ducts' and that she should no longer feed from that breast. She has rung me as a friend to see if there are any other solutions for managing dilated ducts.
Does anyone have any comments?
Thank you in advance,
Naomi Hull
