Can having a tattoo on your breast affect milk production?

Q. I have a tattoo on one breast and its always been slightly smaller than the other one, but now Im 39 weeks and the breast with no tattoo has grown more than the one with the tattoo and seems to leak more often (the tattoo boob leaks sometimes but not very often) my breasts are not totally unporportionate, you can only tell that one is bigger if you stare at them lol but Im just concerned about not producing milk with the tattooed one.

A. I wouldn't worry. The amount that you leak during pregnancy doesn't indicate your future supply. With my 1st child, I leaked constantly from 5 months pregnant on. With my 2nd child, I only leaked on one occassion during the whole pregnancy. Yet with both children, I've had plenty of milk. MORE than enough, actually!

Congrats on the baby on the way! Make sure that you get good support if you have any problems. The first few weeks of breastfeeding might be difficult, but its worth it =) With the proper support, you and your baby can have a comfortable and successful breastfeeding relationship. Not sure if you know this, but I'll share just in case you dont! Make sure the hospital doesnt give your baby any bottles, or it can sabotage your milk supply. It is very important that your body gets the signal to produce milk by having your baby on the breast every time he/she is hungry! Also, bottles too early can cause nipple confusion, so its best to avoid them altogether for at least the first few weeks to get a good latch and supply established. Another thing, if you ever try pumping, remember that it is NOT an accurate indicator of how much milk you actually produce. Many women's bodies do not respond well to pumps, and can only pump a little, or not at all. Your baby is the most effective milk extractor.

If you ever need any help, contact La Leche League. You can visit their website, or get help in person. http://www.llli.org/resources.html?m=0

www.kellymom.com is also an excellent breastfeeding resource.

Email or IM me if you have any questions =)

Good luck and congrats!


What is a free dating website for chunky tattooed pierced girls?
Q. It's hard to meet men in this small town. Especially when you're plus sized and over half the population looks at you like you're some kind of freak. Is there any free dating websites out there that target plus sized alternative women like myself?

A. Try Dating Cafe, it was and will remain free. Has everything and maybe much more to offer then paid sites.
I've never understood why people pay for on-line dating, anyway. Most of the time they never find somebody because the owners of the dating sites (probably ALL PAID DATING SITES) are USING FAKE PROFILES.
That's the only way to make suckers register and pay - they give the impression of really animated community, but they have only 2-3 real users sending emails/messages to the bots like idiots. It's such a shame how this low quality people are trying to take advantage of people's feelings and take their money just for trying to find their soul-mate.
Anyway, check Dating Cafe, if free, multi-language, and they don't use fake profiles; they even have a video chat.
Good luck!
