I got a call from a local MD the other day (I helped her bf her twins last
year) who told me about a case she had.  The mom never seemed to develop any
milk after birth.  No retained placental fragments.  At one week post-partum
her breasts looked like "empty sacks".  Her doctor told her to wean because
"she wasn't eating a good enough diet to produce milk".  My MD friend
recently saw this mom at 5 mos postpartum for a health problem and diagnosed
her as having adrenal insufficiency.  She asked me if this could have caused
the lack of milk production.  My gut reaction is yes, but I need some solid
references for her, which she would like to give to the other MD involved in
this mom's care.  I couldn't find anything in Riordan/Auerbach or Lawrence.
 Any help would be appreciated.
Also: got a call from an LC in the area re a new mom who was put on IV
prednisone in the hospital.  My references only refer to oral predinisone.
 Any problem with nursing a baby while on IV predinisone?  I don't know the
dose.
Thanks!
