Hi Evelyn,
 
Lawrence and Lawrence in Breastfeeding: A Guide for the Medical Profession  
(Mosby, 5th edition, 1999) mention that doses of 600 mg/day of vitamin B6  may 
be used to suppress lactation. This information is also in the Lactation  
Consultant Series module on perinatal loss and grieving published by LLLI.
 
I don't have the 6th edition of the Doctors Lawrence's book so I can't  check 
to see if this info is in the most recent edition.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Warmly,
Carol Kelley  LLLL
Taylors, SC
