Have you breastfed with saline implants and your kids are older? Are they okay?

How long did you breastfeed with saline implants and how old are your children now? Do they have any problems because of it? What did your doctor say about it? Thanks for answering! I'm worried about my kids and don't know if I should stop breastfeeding, even though doctor and internet say there is no known risk or case of something being wrong with kids. I just worry because I'm a mom and would like to find other moms out there with older children who nursed with implants. Thanks!

I did not, but my sister did. She got her implants 7 years ago. Has 2 children that she breastfeed, one is now 4 and the other is 10 months old.


She had not had any problems, but does have plans to get another implat sometime this year.
Reply:You are so BLESSED that you are still able to breastfeed your babies! I have saline implants and they have caused me nothing but problems with nursing. There is so much pressure in my milk ducts that I am always able to produce ALOT of milk, but I cannot release the milk because it's almost as if the ducts are crushed or something. When I first got implants the doctor told me I should have absolutely no problems nursing, but that hasn't been the case. I nursed my first one fine (pre-implant days) and my subsequent 3 children I was not able to nurse (post implant days) Certainly keep nursing, your child will not suffer for it! By the way, I nursed the last 3 until I completely stopped producing anything. What causes your body to send the signal to continue production is an empty breast, and my breast was never able to fully empty, so I was only able to nurse for about 4 weeks (pretty much non-stop though, because I could only get out about an ounce per hour...frustrating but worth it for their sakes!)
