Breastfeeding after a breast reduction?


I had a breast reduction in December and got pregnant very shortly after. I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant with the baby I conceived. What are the chances of me being able to breastfeed this baby who's due to come Sept. 7th? Thanks in advance.

A great site:

Another site to ask about others experiences:

your fine.
I really think you should ask this question to the professionals (doctors).
Consult with your plastic surgeon, and your OB.
Surely your doctor told you that after breast reduction you probably would NOT be able to breast feed.
After you talk to the docs, talk with someone from La Leche League. They are the breast feeding experts.
I'm sorry, but I don;t know anyone with breast reduction who could breast feed.
