Hi, does anyone know if having type 1 diabetes and diabetic mastopathy could cause problems with milk supply when expressing/breastfeeding?
My baby boy was born at 28 weeks and has been in NICU and special care for the last 4 weeks. I've been expressing for him with a hospital breast pump but my volumes are decreasing rather than increasing, whilst his feeding volumes are increasing, so they're having to supplement his feeds with formula.
I've had mastopathy for a number of years and one of the lumps I have is fairly close to my nipple. I'm type 1 and on an insulin pump with good control.
Thanks,
Leigh
