labs to get:

prolactin levels before and 30 mins after nursing or pumping

HCG (for retained placenta)

testosterone

thyroid panel

other ideas:

single-sided pumping with compressions

SNS with largest tube and other tube "vented" for fastest flow (baby will
stay at the breast when he/she believes there is milk there)

be sure bottle very slow-flowing. (playtex just modified it's narrow
ventaire, so is no longer ridiculously slow.)

those are all the ideas I can come up with first thing in the morning...
