Shannon,
As per Diana West in her book, The levels tell you more if you do a baseline (no nipple stimulation for at least 90 minutes)and a surge value (45 minutes after stumulation). This can definitely let you know if mom is making prolactin appropriately but does not tell you anything about resistence etc. Her book goes into greater detail and is a good resource.
