I would like to know if any of you have seen a relationship between anorexia
as adolescent (severe enough to result in hospitalizations, amenorrhea over
several years) and poor lactation many years later.  Is there anything
published on this area?

I am seeing late (day 5) milk onset coupled with very slow increase in milk
quantity. Despite aggressive breastfeeding management adequate lactation is
not achieved.  In each of  three cases anorexia is the only suspicious
factor.

My apologies if this has recently been covered.  I have been Nomail for many
months.
