Pcos sufferers and breastfeeding...

[Lulabell]

I've read a report about pcos and breast feeding. Common to have little or no milk production for breast feeding? This is something I really want to do but worried I wont be able to.

Has anyone experienced this? Thanks in advance.xx

Never heard about that but might explain why my boobies havent changed

I haven't gotten as far as feeding yet, but i'm using the pump to express to try and move things along. Not getting a lot, but a far amount considering the baby isn't even here yet. I have PCOS, i even co-ran a forum for sufferers and i've never heard of anyone not being able to because of it

When I had bloods taken I was told I was low in prolactin which is relevant to milk production - and I have Pcos. I wonder if this will mean I can't breastfeed!! Boooooo!

Hopefully we will all be able to with no problems. Fingers x! xx

Interesting article, I think I fall under one of the categories. We will see if I have problems I guess but I was wondering why my breasts didn't develop during the pregnancy and I am
near 38 weeks
