One of the clues re: diminishing supply is "birth control shot" given after
birth. Right in the shot directions it says not to be used before 6 weeks -
for a good reason - it messes with mom's milk supply. Re: odor ? maybe
related to shot or lipase in milk that is pumped. Try lipase is your
search.
AR:
I don't think lipase explains it as this was milk direct from mother's breast, not expressed or frozen. I have been told 2 things: one that baby nursed and then vomited; second that baby refused to nurse or to take expressed milk from a bottle. (I'm getting info from someone who speaks Spanish and is supportive and knowledgeable about breastfeeding but not trained in supporting breastfeeding. Sort of like knitting with mittens on.)

Nursing is the biological norm for mothers and babies. It is a relationship that provides stress reducing hormones to the mother as well as stimulation, connection, and protection from illness to the baby. It even feeds the baby.
