I would be concerned about the 110 mg B6.  We have used B6 in the past to
keep an overabundant milk supply in check and for several mothers 200
mg/day worked very well.  110 mg would certainly be enough to decrease a
milk supply in mothers without an oversupply.

For the record, it's now the last suggestion in my repertoire because it
has to be taken long-term (or the milk supply jumps right back up) and
research indicated that it does raise the level of B6 in the mother's milk.
 Although I could find no indication that this was harmful, you never know,
so that's why this is the last suggestion I would make if nothing else
worked.
