Hypoplasia, or glandular insufficiency, of the breasts is an infrequent
cause of breastfeeding failure or infant failure to thrive. Early evaluation
of the breasts of early identification of infant indicators can enable
mothers to breastfeed while providing appropriate supplementation to
facilitate satisfactory hydration and growth. A case report is presented of
a highly motivated mother with minimal breast tissue who was able to soothe
four of her infants at her breasts, supplying some breastmilk, while
providing the bulk of their nutritional requirements by other means. At the
time of writing she is tandem breastfeeding as well as providing artificial
milk by bottle.
