Congenital and acquired malformations of the breast can present with difficulty in breastfeeding. The authors report on 3 mothers of Indian origin who successfully breastfed their babies after appropriate counseling despite having different breast malformations. One of the mothers had bilateral ectopic axillary breasts but was able to breastfeed after expressing them. The other 2 mothers had burns scars over the chest and breasts, with a flat nipple in 1 of them, and a psychological barrier was seen in both of them. Both mothers were able to successfully breastfeed after counseling and some practical help. |
