Well my story of not being able to breast feed is short & sweet lol

I had a breast reduction in 2003 & as a result the doctor damaged my milk ducts (he told me before the op that he does a number of these ops EVERY day for the past 10 years or so & has never damaged any milk ducts or had a patient not be able to BF after having one, but there is always the slight chance they may get damaged) Well guess what, he either lied to get me to have the op or there are other woman out there he operated on who can't breastfeed either (being able to BF was my biggest question, I may have put up with the health probs if I knew there was a bigger risk of not being able to BF)

Anyway I cant turn back time & my health & back have been dramatically better since having the op. I will again try to breastfeed with my next baby... & after hearing alot from other BF mothers in here I will try HARDER next time as I admit I didnt try too hard last time as the midwife told me straight out "your babys not getting milk, I suggest fully putting her on formula before you leave the hospital"

If I can BF next time it will be great but if I cant I'm not worried as DD is a very healthy 2 yr old & has a couple of friends her age who were BF (one for 6 months & one for a year) who have health probs, so I don't think it all comes down to whether the baby is BF or FF (I don't mean that as an attack on anyone, it sounds harsh but I cant think of the right words to use sorry)

Good luck to anyone trying to BF
