Also,  remember when brain surgery is done and actually almost any surgery 
where  anesthesia is used, medications are given to dry up secretions.  
Think  about how we tell moms not to use pseudoephedrine because it can "dry up" 
the  milk.  After brain surgery, patients are given medications to decrease 
 brain swelling, a severe problem, as you might imagine.  These  
medications would probably have an impact on milk  production.


~  Ah, one of the beauties of Lactnet: the array of professional  histories 
and experiences we bring and share. This is both fascinating, makes  sense, 
and very illuminating.
