Eileen, I would refer her to the BFAR website, loads of great info for increasing supply. I also have experience with a patient who had had emergency Cardiothoracic surgery/ sternal approach, 2 years prior to pregnancy, and she was unable to develop a full supply. It can damage the 4th Intercostal Nerve and I think even glandular tissue. Lisa Mooney RN MSN IBCLC
