I'm nomail, but need some assistance. I'm working long distance with a mom who quit nursing at 2 mos, started again at 3 mos. She is pumping every 2-3 hours, taking fenugreek,blessed thistle, brewers yeast, evening primrose,and reglan. Her son nurses but she believes he doesn't have good latch on. the main problem for her seems to be her letdown. She never felt letdown during the first two mos. She and her LC in Orlando were able to get some oxytocin spray from Sam (who was posted here some time ago) but she is finding she needs to use the spray every time she pumps or she just gets drips. Before she got the spray she was able to pump 1-2 oz. Now she's almost out, and she is hesitant to spend $75 for what turns out to be a four day supply for her. Baby sleeps well at night so she attributes that and her lack of letdown to initial breastfeeding problems. My understanding of oxytocin spray was that most moms use it a few times and train themselves to letdown. It's not doing it for her. She's on the pumpingmoms listserv, but I sent her a few more personal experiences of pumping from some moms. Any other thoughts?
