Hi Evelyn, Lawrence and Lawrence in Breastfeeding: A Guide for the Medical Profession (Mosby, 5th edition, 1999) mention that doses of 600 mg/day of vitamin B6 may be used to suppress lactation. This information is also in the Lactation Consultant Series module on perinatal loss and grieving published by LLLI. I don't have the 6th edition of the Doctors Lawrence's book so I can't check to see if this info is in the most recent edition. Hope this helps.
