I had a breast reduction nine years ago. How will this effect me breast feeding my baby?

It depends on how the reduction was done. Were the milk ducts cut? Even if they were cut, they could have grown back. The body does some pretty magical things. Talk to your doctor and a lactation consultant. There is a good chance you can still breastfeed. Good luck!
