Hello,
My office mate was prescribed birth control pills 4 months after the birth
of her baby. Despite promises that this pill would not affect her supply,
it did (no surprise). She stopped taking the pills after only 5 days. Her
supply dwindled, and she began supplementing with formula. It is now about
2 months later and she is still very upset and would like to attempt full
relactation. She says colostrum-like milk (not white) comes out of the
nipple with manual expression. Her daughter will "nurse" for 15 minutes
several times per day. Any thoughts on how to help re-establish her supply?
Any help is appreciated, I have just begun IBCLC training and have little
experience in this situation.
Thanks in advance,
Cynthia
