(Im not going to answer this post because I have nothing constructive to say except BUT I have a friend who had hypoplasia, did not breastfeed her first two children but recently breastfed her third baby for 3 1/2 months! So while yes it is a huge issue, there is a small possibility it can be overcome. Im not entirely sure how it came about that she managed it but I will ask her and let you know! She's in Townsville too.)
