I'm working with a mom of twins in our NICU - she has never been able to 
express more than 5ml at a time, even when switching to the Symphony pump 
and providing larger flanges. She has never felt a large milk surge. She did 
receive radiation to her spine as an 8 year old for leukemia (which is now in 
remission). Could this radiation have effected her milk production, even though 
it was not directly on her chest?

Thanks,
Brenda Phipps, BS, IBCLC
