Good morning.

I am in need of some help. I am working with a 3rd time mom who is once 
again struggling to get a milk supply established.
After her 1st baby, she had a hemorhage, but was able to continue 
breastfeeding for a full year-with no supplements.
No hemorhage after the 2nd baby--but very little milk and used a SNS with at 
least half of the baby's calories coming from the SNS.
The third baby-born by c-section--big, healthy boy-nursed vigorously in the 
RR, excellent latch--no milk! He lost nearly 10% in the first two days and it 
continued so the SNS was once again started to control weight loss.
He continues to nurse frequently and vigorously but mom has minimal milk. She 
is using fenugreek, domperidone and brewer's yeast.
Is there anything else we can try/investigate other than thyroid and prolactin 
levels? she is willing to accept the 'no milk' issue but really would like a reason 
for it.
thanks for your help!
