Hi Ladies, I did not have the same surgery as you Elle, but I had a breast reduction which included nipple re-positioning. I was told that I probably would not be able to breastfeed due to severed ducts but ended up successfully nursing 2 children. The first time I had to supplement a wee bit until my supply caught up, but the second time I was pumping like a fiend to establish a good supply early on and haven't had to supplement yet! I guess it is a "wait and see game". I suggest pumping all the time as soon a sBabe is born. I would pump after every feed to empty my breast...which encourages production. I think you can also take Domperidone ( a drug)to increase supply. Hope this helps you! Good luck to you both, let me know how it goes! When are you due??
