Sometimes I wonder if I'm turning into a saleswoman, as I bring an array of breastfeeding supplies to my childbirth class the last night (along with paper and real diapers, not that I have any prejudices...). At my last reunion, I said to a mom who was considering what kind of pump to buy/rent, "I hope I don't sound like an overeager salesman here." Her reply: "I appreciated the fact that you could give me information and then leave me to make a good decision. I mean, who else is going to tell me about hand expression when I go in to look at pumps??" I think all those years in LLL when I was so very wary of equipment help me to maintain my integrity, but also to know that there are situations where a little bit of equipment really can preserve the breastfeeding relationship. Now on to another question. Mom has what she considers a nice milk supply, happy baby. Has Depo Provera IM for birthcontrol, dr says no problem with breastfeeding. Three weeks later mom calls and says her supply has gone down drastically -- in fact, "I think it's disappeared" is what she said. My Nursing95 says serum levels hit peak in three weeks....Kathleen B. says she's called Upjohn for a similar case and they said Depo Provera would increase the mother's milk. Any info??? Thanks. Dawn Kersula PS - Mom is nursing, pumping, and staying in bed with baby, with incr fluids and etc and the supply is improving.)
