Is there anyone who has implants here? advice much appreciated. x

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone here is breastfeeding with implants?
I've been told I can breast feed but not sure about expressing milk. I'm sure that I've been told something about the pressure that an expresser puts on your boobs or something as to why you can't use one.
Can anyone help?

Hi

I have exclusively BF my son for 4 months now. I have under the muscle implants and have not had any problems with feeding or expressing, although I cannot express more than 3 or 4 oz at a time but health visitor says that's normal as the action of an expressing machine is different than how a baby feeds. Some women cannot express at all as BF is an emotional thing aswell. I use an electric pump which has a setting for the pressure. Hopes this helps
