<< And yes, some of these moms are being injected with Depo right in
the hospital, which kills their supply for sure.  But what about the mom who
is given depo at 3 - 4 months postapartum and then complains about her
supply being much lower? >>

For what it's worth, Ruth Lawrence cites a 1977 study that reported an
increase in milk supply with Depo-Provera injections. (Toddywalla, V. S.
Effect of contraceptive steroids on human lactation. Am  J Obstet Gynecol
127:245, 1977).
