Hi Lisa

I cannot answer your question about Maxalon but wanted to ask what this
little bubs weight gains and outputs like?

Has he/she been assessed for a Tongue tie?  To me the low supply, clicking,
trouble latching and mastitis may indicate that bub is not able to milk the
breast properly despite the frequent feeds.

You have probably checked for this, but just in case...

Kind regards

Subject: use of maxalon

Hello all,
Lisa in Canberra here. Just a question about use of maxalon. I am seeing a
Mum with a 4 w.o. who is having  supply  and latching toubles. She clicks
when feeding, not at first but towards the latter part of the feed. Anyway
she was prescibed maxalon by her G.P to increase milk supply, and her course
is now finished. She is worried about her supply decreasing. I said if she
continues feeding frequently milk supply should increase but I wasn't sure
if a sudden stopping of maxalon would correlate to a drop in supply.
Also, what is the best dose to increase supply?
She is feeing 8-10 times in 24 hours., including twice overnight.
Alos she has just been on a dose of antibiotics for mastitis.
Her breast still has lumps in them, so I recomended physio referral for
ultrasound.
Baby is also going to have some osteopathy to see if this helps the latch.
That's all for now. 
From Lisa in Canberra, who is very new at this private L.C. business, but
enjoying the challenge
