breast reduction and breastfeeding

[ShayShay621]

Helli all I'm 21 weeks with my second I had a breast reduction after my first and was wondering if anyone had or knows anyone who had one and if they were able or not to breast feed? I couldn't breadtfeed with my first due to bacterial meningitits but I was hoping i could this time

I have two cousins who got breast reductions. One was able to breast feed, the other couldn't.

Thank you kelly, yes I'm hoping I'll notice some kind of fluid or leakage soon lol hoping I can too

I asked my mom(she a nurse) and she said that it just depends that some can and some can't. So I guess just have to wait and see.
Good luck tho!

I dont see why not but i have no experience there. Your dr should know or a lactation specialist. Hope so, good luck
