Is anyone aware of a decreased milk production correlating with maternal age?
I am working with a 43 y. o. mom, nursed her first two quite successfully
8 & 11 years ago for close to one year. She is presented with a low milk
supply which I attributed to poor latch and ineffectual suckling at the
breast. Currently she is pumping 8 times a day, has used the sns for a week
and was too overwhelmed. I presented the thought of Reglan to the mom and we
are waiting for a response from her MD. She asked me if age could be a
factor and I wasn't aware. I don't often work with 43 year old moms. She has
no hx of infertility. Thanks for your thoughts!
