As a birth person, the first thing I ask when a woman goes back to red
bleeding in the first 3 months is "Are you getting your rest?"  From the
sounds of this case, I would suggest spending a couple of days in bed with
the mother wearing just panties/pad and the baby skin to skin (with just a
diaper).  In my experience, the bleeding diminishes right away with the
extra naps and the woman can see that she needs to cool it and not be
rushing around pretending she's superwoman.  Gloria Lemay, Vancouver BC

Subject: Re: Retained placenta???

 

There's actually one published case report of a mom with hyperlactation due
to a retained placental fragment. You should be able to find it using google
scholar (scholar.google.com).
