Breast feeding after breast abscess

CJ

I'm pregnant with my first child and would like to breast feed.

7 years ago I was hospitalised due to a breast abscess and it took about 6 months to fully heal.

There is visible scarring on my breast and my nipple was pulled in slightly by the scar tissue underneath.

There has been definite changes to my undamaged nipple during the pregnancy but the other still looks the same.

Does anyone have any experience of breast abscesses and still managed to breast feed?
