Hi, I'm Sharen Strosser RN, IBCLC.  This is my first time posting a
question.  I have been an LC for 11 years, currently  hospital  based.  I
have been lurking for several months and feel like a library to the world
has opened up.  Thanks to all of you.  The question is from an OB
Physician who is also the patient.  Some hx; third baby, sore nipples
with all.  This time within the first 12 hours.  Baby nursing q 2 hours,
with latch-on, positioning, and sucking assessment all fine.  Mom tried
using Elocon oint. 0.1% per Lawrence pg. 247 and nipple soreness
improved.  This is day 4 and milk isn't in.  No prior problems with milk
production.  Baby is slightly jaundice, no stool since Friday.  Question
 - could the steroid activity inhibit milk production (have estrogen type
effect as in other parts of the body)?  TIA
