I need information for a new mom who lives with Addison’s Disease. She also has PCOS. Her endo told her during pregnancy that he saw no reason why she should have any difficulty with lactation. She had breast changes in pregnancy, baby is now 2 weeks old, born via c-section at 36 weeks due to low amniotic fluid. Latches well, sleepy at breast, clearly still hungry after bf. Late afternoon test wt transfer was 18g total after feeding for about 20 min on each side, after which she pumped for 10 min and got less than an ounce total. Will have a wet check again on Monday to discuss next steps. Mom loves bf and is resistant to supplementation with formula. Also has Hx of mood disorders and is showing signs of ppd. Wants to bf exclusively and is working very hard. I feel that her endo did her a disservice by not letting her know at the very least that she might need extra support or might not make all the milk her baby needs. I am having trouble finding current info on lactation and Addison’s Disease, which I feel is central to what’s happening here.
Thank you!Lisa King, MPH, IBCLC
