I have just done several google searches with different word combinations and cannot find what I am looking for. Can any of you learned lactnetters point me in the right direction re the association (if any) between insufficient milk production and striae (stretch marks) of the breast? It seems I recall that prominent stretch marks are associated with low production if seen on hypoplastic and/or tubular breasts. Or was it a lack of stretch marks? Following a mom with very wide spaced tubular breasts and a bulbous nipple/areolar complex with dark prominent stretch marks across tops of breasts. Lots of colostrum in hospital but infant had very lengthy feeds per mom. Unable to reach her today on day 3 to check on onset of lactogenesis II. Have instructed her on normal course of lactation and signs of effective feeding, diaper counts, wt loss/gain etc. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
