Hi all,
I am helping a new mother who has had her first baby . She wanted to breastfeed her baby but although she knew how to begin she had nipple cracked the first day. She got in touch with me because her baby lost weight and his diapers hardly were wet even though he was more than ten times on the breast .
When I saw her I noticed that she had breast underdeveloped. Her medical history not include infertility and her hormonal levels are normal.
She only can produce very little milk in one of her breast and at the moment she is feeding her baby with formula but her son doesīt refuse the breast and despite the fact that she hasnīt milk she enjoys with breastfeeding.
She uses breast pump regularly and is taking domperidona.
Looking for information I have found that hypoplasia could be in relation with POQS although she hasnīt symptoms and in that case metformine could help her.
Do you have any experience in similar cases?
Thanks in advance
