Hi Doreen

This is a timely question for me.  A mother asked me yesterday if I could 
help her bring in a milk supply when she adopts her next baby.  She was so 
disappointed when told by her doctor that it was "too late" when she adopted 
her son, who is now 3 months old (don't worry, we discussed her current 
options!)

Anyway, she mentioned that she is on Zoloft, and asked if it could possibly 
be a galactagogue as her breasts had been so full and uncomfortable lately. 
I couldn't find any indication of that in my resources at work, so your 
information is helpful.  She has never been pregnant, and this snippet might 
be enough to spur on her efforts to get her son to latch on at this stage.

As to your question on oversupply in an already lactating mother....I 
haven't noticed it yet, but will keep an eye on my clients who are on those 
drugs.   I'm thinking of one mother in particular where the only thing going 
right in her life at present is that her baby is growing really, really well 
on her milk.

Best wishes

Hi all:  I'm not sure if this has been discussed previously on lactnet,
but I'm wondering if anyone is noticing oversupply issues in moms taking
certain antidepressants?
