Nursing after TT

Anybody here breastfeed baby after TT.  My little one is 3 months old and breastfeeding.  I will have TT with MR surgery on Sunday at 6:30am.  Should be home by 3pm.  I have plenty of milk in the freezer and a great breast pump.  I know I can take my pain meds and nurse after anesthesia.  I want to know if I will physically be able to put baby on the Boppy pillow and nurse.  Has anybody done this.  She weighs 11 lbs.  I am so scared and feel guilty for doing this, and I will feel even worse if I have to give her a bottle.  Nursing is very important to me.  Thanks for your help.

i have never nursed... however i have had a lower body lift.... you might need someone to lift her for you.... i dont think you will feel up to it for a few days...good luck!

Thank you.  My hubby is staying home until Thursday, so hopefully after that I will be okay on my own. :)

I had my hernia repair/tt when my daughter was 18 months old. I was only supposed to be in overnight but ended up being there 4 days. At the end of day 4, due to the pain and the pumping I was getting only 4 oz at a time total. I weaned her because the pain was so bad and it was just easier given her age to wean.

Since your baby is so little, I suggest living in a recliner for a week and keeping her near in a bassinette. I believe the weight limit for lifting was 10 pounds. You will feel if it is pulling and too much. Good luck to you! I have had friends come out without any pain at all. I had 15 pounds removed and 2 large and 3 small hernias repaired so it was a bit much.

Good luck Laneya! I hope it goes great for you and I'm so excited for you! You're going to look like Barbie after this :)

Thanks Jen, I will be callin or texting to let you know all is well on Sunday!If my milk dries up I'm gonna look like Skipper!!! 

Thank you.  Sounds like you've been through it!  Was it worth it?  I hope I am one that doesn't have much pain.  I hope I am doing the right thing.  I've already got her bassinette set up in the living room, now if I only had a recliner.... I have a couch with a bunch of pillows.  I will make do.  I don't have much extra skin.  Maybe a pound or two, but I know he wants to do muscle repair, I don't feel any separation but while he's in there might as well.....

It was worth it. I had a lot of flapping skin. It was awful. I had a baby after and the only weird thing was that I never looked pregnant.

That's good to know.  I say no more babies but I just love them so much ya never know :)
