>Retained placenta?



>Dear Lactnetters
>     I am working with a Mom who is 10 days post C-section, whose milk has not
>  yet come in.  She reports that her infant had nursed well for the first 4
>days, though her milk had not come in at that time and she started
>supplementing after each feeding, in addition to pumping( with a hospital
>grade electric pump) . At six days,she began taking fenugreek in addition to
>continued pumping, though the infant would no longer go to breast and Mom did
>not want to use an SNS. Now at 10 days post partum she is only getting about
>10 cc. breast milk per breast.
>     Mom was very edematous post C-section with 4+ pedal edema. She remains
>somwhat edematous in her abdomen, but has lost 24 #, which I am sure was
>mainly fluid. She is only taking Ibuprofen for pain. Her breasts did increase
>one cup size during pregnancy.
>     I am wondering if any of you have any ideas that I might have missed that
>could help this Mom.Thank you so much in advance.
