Dear Friends,
I'm sorry to say I have not stayed current with postings. Just noted this 
subject from last month. I had patients with similar complaint of sudden 
absence of milk. Years ago I found reference to a study (in an older edition) in 
BREASTFEEDING, A Guide for the Medical Profession. If I recall correctly, it 
stated that women who forced fluids (in excess of 6 pints per day) noted a 
significant decrease in milk supply. Again we repeated the instructions to drink 
to thirst plus monitor for adequate nutrition and found gradual return of milk 
supply. I personal conversations at ILCA conferences, others have stated that 
they thought the decrease might be due to dilution of prolactin. Inquiring 
minds would like to know.
