Cindy and all,

Cindy, you wanted to know if pitocin was ever used for engorgement in people.
It is not recommended in the BAB, but Ruth Lawrence does mention using
Syntocinon nasal spray in BF: A guide for the Medical Profession (p 252) as an
aid for an inhibited MER when all other measures fail. Dr Lawrence does not
suggest Syntocinon for engorgement though. Has anyone on Lactnet ever used
Syntocinon when the mom is really engorged and the milk just won't let down?

Wondering too,
