>Karen, I too have heard of cases of this. I worked with a mother recently
who had a severe drop in milk supply after having an injectable birth
control medication administered.  The makers of the medication INSISTED that
there was no relationship, but there was no other explanation for a 50% cut
in milk volume.

If this baby is not stooling more often than every 10 days, I would get that
kid in for a weight check asap.  The mother may strongly consider an
alternate form of birth control...Anyone else have any specific info on oral
contraceptives and milk supply? I have these references, but am too tired to
look them up. <G>
