Renee,
You are right, Clomid only causes low milk production in an already
lactating woman. It does not affect the milk production for the child
conceived with it, as far as we know. Unfortunately, moms with
infertility who need help to conceive are at higher risk for low milk
supply.
Could your friend have PCOS? If so, treating it (usually with metformin)
during pregnancy can help prevent miscarriage, preterm births, and birth
defects (according to the latest study), and metformin during lactation
has been helpful in increasing milk supply in a good proportion of moms
with PCOS in Dr. Mona Gabbay's breastfeeding medicine practice. For more
on PCOS, search the archives for Lisa Marasco's posts.
