I found one post from 1995 in the archives talking about a Birth article
that looked at anemia and mothers with insufficient milk syndrome.
Dear Friends:
This is the Henley article that discovered that 20% of the sample of
600+ postpartum women were anemic.
Anemia did not cause low milk supply.
Anemia made a tired mom, who could also have poor problem solving
ability. The decisions she made about her baby who wanted to feed very often, as
any normal newborn does, led to a lowered supply.
I don't know of any link between pernicious anemia (a chronic disease as
gastric juices lack an intrinsic factor so B-12 isn't absorbed) and milk
supply.
