Idk anyone personally who has, but i remember reading in a magazine it was possible depending if your nerves weren't damage. You will have to wait n see if your milk comes in after baby is born. It won't hurt to try. Best of luck
Thanks for your input mamabear.
I had it done 5yrs before having my 1st baby. I was told at the time it would depend on if the milk ducts were in tact. When I went to breastfeed I had no end of trouble. I had terrible supply due to health problems and had to give up after 4wks because baby was underweight. However, I had good attachement but was aware my nipples didn't stick out as far as my friends when breastfeeding so I would suggest maybe exploring a nippleshield now so that you know how they work etc in case you need one when the time comes. Good luck!
Also, if you can express milk but can't get a good latch or have other issues, you can use a pump and then use a bottle. Don't hesitate to consult your hospitals lactation consultant.
Thanks so much ladies! I know plenty of mamas whose milk doesn't come in until days after delivery but I also know there are plenty who start producing colostrum and leaking very early. I know its completely possible to still breastfeed after the surgery, I just wanted to know if there were any success stories firsthand. This makes me feel so much better.
Not from personal experience but my cousin had a reduction. She tried nursing, it didn't work out for her. I say try but be prepared if it doesn't happen.
Awww that's to bad :( I hope the same doesn't happen to me. Do you remember her mentioning anything the docs may have said to her about it?
