Caren writes, << I have not seen a formal study but at the hospital I work in I haven't noticed a relationship with pitocin and late onset of milk, >> In our hospital the mothers go home before the milk comes in -- unless it is the unusual mom who has milk coming in at 24 hours, or she's had a C/Section and milk comes in at 3 days if we're lucky. The only reason I've noted late onset of milk with Pitocin induction (NOT augmentation) is because I'm in private practice, seeing and talking to moms post hospitalization. Most of the nurses in our facility haven't seen "engorgement" in years -- so the moms go home not knowing how to prevent or handle it, because people are forgetting that it happens.... Jan Barger
