Clomid would most definitely decrease milk supply in someone who took it 
while lactating.  Just normal ovulation, without hyperstimulation, can do 
that.  But I don't see how it could possibly cause decrease in milk supply 
in a mother who has delivered a baby concieved on clomid!

I don't know if this mom delivered her one baby early enough to affect 
lactation, or what.  However, I would assure her that she will be able to 
breastfeed, one way or another.  I would think that, with a healthy baby who 
is able to suck well, she will do just fine, but perhaps it would set her 
mind at ease to know that there are ways to deal with low supply, that 
partial breast milk feeding is still beneficial, and that the nurturing 
relationship can be obtained, regardless of whether supplementation is 
needed.  Of course, pointing out that adoptive moms can breastfeed might 
encourage her, too.  After what she has all ready been through trying to 
have a baby, she just may get to the point of considering adoption, if she 
does not success in giving birth to a healthy baby anytime soon.  Knowing 
that breastfeeding would be a possibility might help her see adoption as a 
better option, too, and take away at least a little of the pressure she 
feels about the prospects of continuing to try the clomid.

Maybe she would like to go to the Adoptive Breastfeeding Resource Website, 
where she could talk with women who have dealt with infertility and milk 
supply issues, from lots of different angles.  WWW.fourfriends.com/abrw
