Dear Friends:
    I can understand about hot flashes and other symptoms relating to
perimenopause. But I don't understand the reduced milk supply as part of
perimenopause. One doesn't need estrogen or progesterone to make milk.
    Can someone explain it, please?
    warmly,
It is entirely possible that this mom's problem could be related to
perimenopause.  The sympotmology she describes is right on... hot
flashes, PMS sympotmology, reduced milk supply.
