PTP:  I am working with a mom with a 4 month old baby, weighing 18 lbs.  She returned to work full-time at 6 weeks postpartum.  Her cycle returned at 7 weeks postpartum.  Mom pumps q2-3h for approx. 12 minutes, including nights.  She used to get 4.5 oz each time she pumped.  Now she is getting only 3 oz., and mom is very worried about her decreased supply.  2 weeks ago she started taking fenugreek TID, blessed thistle, oatmeal w/wheat germ and mothers milk tea with no increase at this time.  Mother denies any unusual stress at this time.  Anyone have any additional suggestions for this mom? Or am I missing anything?

Thanks!!!
