I have not found a lot of practical advice on this subject, but have met many moms who have had some form of surgery in the past.
If you are trying to breastfeed your baby but are concerned that he or she is not gaining weight well, filling nappies frequently and seems to cry a lot [...]

Recurrent Mastitis!
19th March 2009
Oh no, too many moms are developing recurrent mastitis, so I want to briefly address this quickly this morning.
If you have been unfortunate enough to develop mastitis, I know you will be keen to avoid developing it again at all cost. For some reason, recurrent mastitis is on the increase.
So I am going to outline [...]
Welcome to my BRAND NEW site!!
16th March 2009
Hi everybody!
I am sorry for not ‘blogging’ as much lately, but as I am sure you will appreciate, we have been a little busy!
As the Let’s Breastfeed Program has been so helpful to moms all over the world, I have invested more time and focused on some of the common breastfeeding problems most moms will [...]
It’s the season to be Merry!
23rd October 2008
As we draw closer to Christmas, many moms are asking me about drinking alcohol whilst breastfeeding, so I thought this would be a good thing to address on my blog.
Like with everything concerning pregnancy, newborns and babies, there are many conflicting opinions about what is considered safe or not safe with regards to drinking [...]
In hospital with nobody to help…
16th October 2008
Hospitals used to be a place new mothers found support and rest, these days though, many moms can’t wait to get out!
This is due to the number of babies being born every year with the staff stretched way beyond capacity and with the run up to Christmas and the New Year, hospitals are only [...]

So whilst I am looking forward to the cold dark December days, I wanted to help [...]
Will it all get better in time?
4th September 2008

2nd August 2008
There is never a good time to experience pain in the form of sore nipples, so it is frustrating that both hot and cold weather can actually create more complications or intensify the pain you are already experiencing.
The weather affects us all whether we are conscious of it or not. It is, however, more [...]
Found yourself ‘tongue tied’ recently?
2nd July 2008
Isn’t it funny how a phrase that is so commonly used, can actually denote quite a serious problem for breastfeeding mothers! What is more interesting, is that even though the phrase is used to describe one’s inability to speak properly or at all, due to the tongue not able to move, it is still not [...]

27th June 2008
It has been a couple of weeks now since I have been able to sit down and write.
Work has kept me busy these last few weeks, I have worked with mums who needed to increase their supply, or decrease their supply, mums who struggled to get baby onto the breast or off the breast [...]
