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. -- Catherine Watson Genna, IBCLC New York City mailto:[log in to unmask] *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
