Kim, I have worked with Moms in the Neonatal Intensive Care fitting the
dscription you describe.! We take a detailed history on mom, and when
there is a history of little to no breast changes with invitro for low
hormones (we have several invitro clinics in our area), a warning flag
goes up. Unfortunately, many of these moms deliver early and rely on
exculsive pumping. These moms do seem to struggle with there supply and
one that is of advanced maternal age (I hate that phrase) does seem to
compound the challenge.
Since your mom will be delivering a term baby, her success may be much
better-I would follow her closely and investigate some herbals if she is
open. Also, her physician may be willing to draw labs to confirm her
hormone levels if her milk does not seem to come in despite the best
breastfeeding management. I have found many moms feel better knowing why
breastfeeding did not work out when they truly did all they could. An SNS
may be helpful for this mom if you see them getting off to a slow start.
Keep us posted!
