I am a vocalist who had a c-section 11 weeks ago. Since, I have been unable to sing with the same power & stamina, vocally, as before. My voice will sort of go in and out on particular notes. I've been to an ENT Specialist who just say's my vocal chords are swollen. I've tried everything. I am now wondering if br___tfeeding is the culprit since that is the only thing that is different in my body. Can anyone help. I was planning on quitting br___tfeeding tonight and came across this sight. I really am sad to feel I need to stop. It would help if anyone had any input.

I wouldn't stop b___stfeeding unless you see a lactation consultant who can tell you for sure that b___stfeeding is causing your vocal toubles.
Personally, I think there are so many other changes your body goes through because of pregnancy, that one of THESE (and not b___stfeeding) could be causing the problem.
Also, remember how important b___stfeeding is for you and you baby before you decide to stop. Pediatricians recommend exclusive b___stfeeding for the first 6 months. If you stop, you'll be taking away important health advantages (like natural immunization), and that could cost you lots in doctor bills.
Don't stop until you carefully weigh your choices. I vote to keep b___stfeeding.
