X-Status: Unsent X-Status: Unsent X-Status: Unsent In the past 12 months, several moms who have had breast reduction have rented pumps from me. 3 out of about 9 were able to successfully breastfeed. The human body is amazing. Many of the women who rent pumps aren't successful in establishing successful breastfeeding. I think sometimes the women who comes for a pump & doesn't want a consult, often has other issues at stake. Whatever amount of breastmilk the baby receives is a plus. One of the ladies who had had a reduction let me try Dr. Jack's breast compression on her. It was my first time & I was pleasantly surprised how the baby's suck changed & he began to rapidly suck & swallow. I think breast compression turned that breastfeeding around. Mom is hard of hearing & periodically sends me e-mails. Baby is still nursing at 8 months.
