  • 38 Weeks, Still No Milk?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I'm currently 38 weeks along, and I have read in several books and websites, that I should be producing some kind of pre-milk substance? Nothing so far, does that mean I will not be able to breastfeed when my baby is born, I'm just a little concerned?

  • Will I Be Able To Nurse After a Reduction Surgery?

    QUESTION

    Dear Lactation Consultant,
    I had a breast reduction (from a D to a B, I'm only 5 feet tall !) in late 2001, and am due to have my first child in October of this year. What is the likelihood I will be able to breastfeed? Is there anything I should be doing to increase my odds?

    Thank you,
    Bay
