I have seen two cases of dx sheehan's syndrome.  Neither recovered much
milk-making capacity in spite of measures similar to what you are
describing.  The blood loss, shock, and pituitary damage just seemed to be
more than what the mothers' bodies could overcome. There just was no extra
metabolic energy they could put towards bfg.  One of the mothers I worked
with had twins, and that was especially sad as she was really in a deficit
there.  Helping these mothers feel good about whatever partial contribution
their nursing can make is important.  Providing them a chance to discuss and
express their disappointment and describe the fear this very dangerous and
scary experience caused them helps psychological recovery.  Like all
survivors they need to be listened to while they process.

Have others seen sheehans where there was good recovery?  What about the
issue of reproductive organ atrophy?  Has anyone seen subsequent births?
