Re: Breastfeeding and Breast Implants on the web

[Guest guest]

I commented also...here is what I said: Your article on breastfeeding and implants is very disturbing. You make it sound as if there is no risk to the infant. There are in fact risks, and these are so disturbing that women with implants should be advised not only to NOT breastfeed, they should be advised not to even get pregnant. There are women and children all over this planet who have been harmed by breast implants, and they are greatly understudied, neglected, and trampled upon by the medical profession. The dangers to children should be embraced and caringly dealt with rather than swept under the rug, as you have done. It is violence to them!Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: I found a place to comment . . . and gave them a piece of my mind! . . . I wish they could walk in the shoes of one of our injured children! . .
