Hello.  I am usually a lurker but just wanted some info  on milk supply and
micronor.  I am working with a women who had taken micronor for 2-3 monthes
post-partum.  Baby is five monthes old and appears to be thriving well
though mother percieves low supply--using fenugreek, double pumping--
getting nearly nothing--baby lost 3 oz at weight check--mother very
anxious, baby had good latch and appropriate outputs, but fusses after
first 3-4mins. at breast.  Mom has a letdown.  Test weight of baby showed
an intake of 3 oz's in just 4 mins. of nursing.  Tom Hale states that
micronor can lower milk volume and also decrease protein/nitrogen compounds
in milk.  Mother stopped taking this 2 weeks ago.  Could this have effected
something early on with hormonal control of lactation?  I did check the
archives and did find some info but quite what I was looking for.  Thanks.
