A member asked:
Is the baby safe if breastfeeding from a breast that has a cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally yes: The cyst itself is usually a benign issue competing for space with the milk producing glands.They are generally walled off and separate. They could interfere with the lacteals and might cause problems with flow. But arenot a risk to baby.
