Permission granted to post recent situation of 24yo new mom with SIADH (diagnosed 4 years ago).  Vaginal birth with no anesthetics or analgesics, fluid restricted and sodium levels were maintained. Minimal use of oxytocin after delivery.  Breastfed after delivery with good latch and for first 24 hours. Then became symptomatic of hyponatremia and did indeed have low sodium. For 2 days since no more breastfeeding due to the unknown that it might be part of the instability in sodium.  Finally, after IV therapy the sodium is at a safe point.  

Has anyone had experience with SIADH and breastfeeding?
