Have the mom's thyroid studies been checked lately? Hypothyroidism
inhibits milk supply, but hyperthyroidism inhibits MER, which can look like
low milk supply. Has she gotten a generic brand of Synthroid
lately? (Generics can be 75-125% of actual potency stated, which can make
a difference in this circumstance.) Could she be anemic? Started hormonal
birth control lately? A smoker? Any other endocrine abnormalities? Any
other meds?
Reglan is worth a try, if no other cause can be found.
