I have seen several moms lately who received a lot of IV fluids and
pitocin, who present with no milk at 5-6 days and are retaining a lot
of fluid.  (huge ankles) They appear engorged, but no milk is
removed.

Has anyone seen a diuretic used in this situation??  My theory
being that the diffuse swelling includes the interstitial tissue of the
breast, and the increased pressure inhibits lactogenesis.

Thanks-
