Here is a follow-up to my 3/13 posting on 'lactation failure'.
The mom I wrote about was 3 days postop from her second c/s and very upset about her milk not coming in, like it didn't last time.  She was able to express drops at that time and today states she can get 15cc.  She started reglan and after 2 doses stopped because of diarrhea.  She is not taking fenugreek.  She will not use the SNS but is using 10cc syringes with cut off feeding tubes (about 2 inches long) and plans to do so another week then reevaluate.  She is convinced that her spherocytosis is the reason for her suppressed lactation. What do you think?  She and both her sons have the same condition necessitating removal of the spleen. Having something other than herself to blame is helping her process alot of angry energy.
By the way, thanks Heather and Diane for your responses to the original post!
