Touche. Actual-in-fact insufficient glandular tissue (IGT) is a "subset"
of true insufficient milk supply. My thoughts about how to talk to
families about potential "IGT" problems assumed we were in the immediate
post-partum period, and the significant marker at play was breasts with
apparent (as in: apparent to the IBCLC's eyeballs) hypoplasia. So much is
as-yet unknown in those first few days, and so much can contribute to BFg
that is suboptimal.
I full-on appreciate that not all hypoplasia-looking-breasts are IGT ...
and not all all IGT involves hypoplasia. Of course, an honest-to-goodness
"diagnosis" of IGT is beyond the scope of practice of an IBCLC...and the
diagnosis is not all that easy in the making by a skilled clinician who
does diagnose.
I am now gonna duck behind my shield: Diana Cassar-Uhl's excellent
reference "Finding Sufficiency," which I was remiss in not earlier
mentioning, in case I've again chosen my words poorly.
