Subject: High Prolactin

I am working with a mom who has low supply. She is 3 ½ weeks out, slightly delayed lactogenesis and is making about 50-60 ml's every 3 hours on average. Thyroid is normal but prolactin was over 300. Normal for this stage is 100 and while I know there can be some variation, over 300 seems excessively high. Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm concerned something else should be checked but I don't want to worry her if it's not warranted. I instructed her to do the level 2-3 hours after any feeding/pumping, so it wasn't a surge. Any thoughts based on experience are appreciated.
