Dear all:
 
I am currently studying to write the exam in July.  In one of the
lactation texts I am using, I read that one of the signs of milk
transfer is "mom has contractions"
Is this really a reliable sign, especially in the first few days
post-partum?  Oxytocin can be released by babe just licking the nipple
or even with non-nutritive sucking, resulting in uterine contractions,
but babe is not transferring milk.
Thanks for any thoughts on this, 
Doreen Vanderstoep, RN, IBCLC
