    I am a mother of a two year old little girl and I am seriously thinking of having another, I definietely want to breast feed my second child and feel very confident in doing so, the only thing I worry about is if they do a hestroectomy after my second, will I still make milk?

    Do you mean a tubal ligation to avoid getting pregnant or a hysterectomy for another unerlying medical condition? If a tubal ligation then no problems will arise, and if a hysterectomy no problems will arise unless they take your ovaries which would make you menopausal.

    You do not need ovaries to produce milk. In the past milk maids were used to breastfeed other peoples children and these women were often post menopausal. it doesnt matter the reason for the hysterectomy you will definetely be able to produce milk.
