I need advice. I talked with mom yesterday who has 4 month old. She stated
that for the last week or so she isn't feeling or noticing letdown. Baby
seeming hungry all the time. Mom works and pumps 3 times a day while at
work. The amount she has been pumping is also decreasing. When home mom
nurses on demand. I suggested she try fenugreek and ideas for letdown
(relax, darkened room. pics of baby etc.)Mom states she is also having
slight spotting every 2-3 weeks. Could she be trying to get her periods
back? States was on birth control pills in June had excessive break through
bleeding so stopped. States she is not pregnant.  I also talked with her
doc and I asked him if we could try some syntocin (nasal oxytocin) he wrote
the script. Now as I continue to look for info on Syntocin I see references
that its not available or shouldn't be used after first week or so PP. Mom
is picking up med today. Should she not try it?  I did check archives but
didn't find much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Feeling very insecure, waiting for IBCLC results in Oct.!!!
