Dear Lacnetters-
I have a client who has failed to get her left breast to produce more than a
tablespoon of breastmilk while pumping. The baby refuses to nurse, so mom
relies on an electric pump to supply breastmilk to the baby. The client has
experienced problems with her thyroid for the past 7 years and was finally put
on Westhyroid (?). Could hypothyroidism or this medication cause a problem
with milk production in only one breast??? TIA
