I'm sorry to say that *I* didn't know about retained placental fragments
and it's effect on lactation, and I am an MD with a special interest in
lactation, I do lactation consulting, I read a lot about lactation and so
on, but before joining lactnet I never heard about this. How do you
diagnose it? There is always something new to learn. Thank you all.
