Hi Kelly, I've only just read your post, and I really dont know
much about this
subject, but I can tell you there is definitely information out
there about it,
and it is a real condition. I'm a first year Bmid student, and last
semester in
a lecture with a lactation consultant from the RHW Randwick (if you
wanted to
contact someone who really knows about it), this issue was
discussed in some
detail. It was only a short lecture and I dont have notes for it,
but what I
can recall is this: information and understanding about how the
breasts work
and produce milk is still being understood, in fact our
understanding of the
anatomy of the breast has recently been challanged! Lactation
consultants would
have the best and most up to date knowledge of this stuff, as it's
their area
of expertise if you like. Anyway, it was discussed that breasts of
a particular
shape are possibly anatomically different to others, in that the
tissue inside
the breasts which actually produces the milk concentrates in the
area around
the nipple, and does not extend very far back into the breast. In
normal breast
development, regardless of the size of the breast, the tissue
extends right up
to the armpit. We were shown photo's of breasts which possibly have
this type of
tissue development, and the features of them were: tubular in shape
(whether
small or large in size) and with a clear sort of seperation across
the sternum,
if that makes sense. There is a marked space between each breast.
In many of
the pictures it was possible to see that most of the fullness of
the breast was
around the nipple area. This is not to alarm anyone who has breasts
of this
shape who may be reading this, or to offend anyone by my dispassionate
desription of breasts! This is all I can remember really, and this
infrormation
was given to us as future midwives as something to look out for,
but obviously
we would refer to a lactation consultent if there was a problem.
Maybe this is
new information , and the midwives involved with this woman were
unaware??
Anyway, I hope this helps,

Quoting "Kelly @ BellyBelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Does anyone have any experiences to share with this? A woman has
posted on
my site about her experience and I was wondering what everyone
thought on
the topic.
