I found one  post from 1995 in the archives talking about a Birth article
that looked at  anemia and mothers with insufficient milk  syndrome.



Dear Friends:
    This is the Henley article that discovered that 20%  of the sample of  
600+ postpartum women were anemic.
    Anemia did not cause low milk supply.
    Anemia made a tired mom, who could also  have poor problem solving 
ability. The decisions she made about her  baby who wanted to feed very often, as 
any normal newborn does, led to a  lowered supply.
    I don't know of any link between pernicious anemia  (a chronic disease as 
gastric juices lack an intrinsic factor so B-12 isn't  absorbed) and milk 
supply.
   warmly,
