This is a question from a LLLLeader:

>the mother has a blood condition called Elevated Levels of Antiphosphate
>Lipid >Antibodies for which she took Heparin  throughout the pregnancy,
>and then >stopped on the day of the baby's birth. This blood condition
>means that her >blood coagulates more easily than the average person

Baby weighed 5 lb 3 at birth, stayed on that low, slow curve until 2 1/2
months (8 lb 8 oz), but has slowed even further (9 lb 5 at 3 3/4 mo).

Mom is beginning standard measures for increasing milk supply and transfer,
but also wonders if her blood condition might be a factor in low supply.
