I had a client who also wore a bullet-proof vest and felt certain that it was the reason for her decreasing milk supply. With her first child she had a different job where she wasn't required to wear the vest. She was able to keep up a good milk supply for many more months. I would suspect that, like so many other variables, it may have contributed to the decrease but wasn't solely responsible for it. I just remember thinking how awful it must be to have to wear one, especially during all of our months with 90-100+ degree days!
