 Why is a 4.5 month baby bfg so infrequently? That could lead to low
 production prior to the estrogen-containing BCP...

Yeah, I know.  She's not my mom, I was called by baby's ped. who covered that
with her.  My question was simply re: the OCP.

 << Mom is experiencing "heavy" periods the med is for the bleeding. >>

 So estrogen-containing pill is a "bandaid"? When did periods resume if baby
 only 4.5 months? Has the doc ascertained the underlying condition/etiology
 for the heavy periods? Seems like that might be important and affect
 treatment?

I don't know.  That's a question for her OB.  I've never met the mom.
