Would greatly appreciate any and all info regarding polycystic ovary disease
and its effect on lactation.  A search of the archives did not supply much
info.  I have a mom who is at day 12PP and has zero milk.  She was diagnosed
with POD in the last trimester of pregnancy with no reference to her desire to
breastfeed.  As I understand some women with POD can experience
hyperprolactinemia and have copious amounts of milk and others have none.  I
have recommended that she use the SNS to maintain stimulation until further
info becomes available.  She is very motivated but understandably discouraged.
TIA.
