Hi all,
Needing a little help with figuring out best course of action with a mom--PTP. 3w PP with low supply. No health problems. Another provider suggested Reglan to increase supply. She came to me to discuss. Saw hospital IBCLC and low production--test weight for milk intake was 6 grams. Trying lots of things--lactation cookies, fenugreek and pumping. Feeds 2-3 hours then pumps and supplements. Gets about 1 ounce after feeding in the morning, then a spoonful by the afternoon. Postpartum bleeding very light, almost gone. I was at birth and no issues with placental delivery. I did Prolactin levels and baseline was 136 and surge was 137. Any thoughts on use of galactogogues? Thanks for the help!!
