I've found that there is a heightened anxiety in ivf moms, because of
all that they had to go through to get pregnant.  This can negatively
impact breastfeeding if normal infant behaviors are interpreted as
distress with bf, or supplementation is started too early.  These moms
also have reduced 'faith' in their bodies' reproductive functions, and
need lots of info on the mechanisms of supply and demand as "cognitive
therapy" on this issue.
