<< One other interesting item: a lay midwife asked this mom if she knew what
 drugs she was given for the hemorrhage, saying that if it was "hemabate", it
 could suppress lactation. Mom is going to try and find out what meds she was
 given; I did not find any such drug listed in Hale to double check. >>

I wonder if this is another name for ergotrate which, if given for 2 or 3
days isn't a problem, (which is normal for pp hemorrhage), but if given over
a longer period of time or in doses such as one might see for a migraine will
suppress prolactin (which is how is suppresses lactation).
