AAP says Climara is compatible with breastfeeding, as does Hale (L3),
HOWEVER  "early postpartum use of estrogens may reduce volume of milk and
protein content, but it is variable and depends on dose and the individual.
Breastfeeding mothers should wait until lactation is firmly established (6-8
weeks) prior to use of estrogen-containing oral contraceptives." Hale.
Climara dose is 2, 3.8, 5.7, or 7.6 mg daily, which is a much larger dose
than oral contraception, I think.  Ditch the patch and see if supply can be
repaired.  Pat in SNJ
