Hi Amie
There is some evidence that anaemic women can have issues with low supply.
There is a full discussion here
http://www.mobimotherhood.org/MM/article-anemia.aspx .  The safest
intervention is to improve the mothers' iron status (assuming her anaemia is
caused by iron-deficiency).  It will also make the mother feel better.  
There is no reason why this mother cannot begin iron supplementation (and
possibly dietary changes) while addressing the other issues you describe.
Cheers
