Ann There seems to be data that polycystic ovary syndrome can be associated with low milk production. I do not remember if fibrocystic breasts are part of that syndrome. You could search polycystic and see. If so that is fairly complex. However, it seems the bigger problem and what likely is cause of the low supply is the non-nursing baby x 11 days now. This needs to be explored further. why did baby not latch? Is it a term baby? Did she experience breast changes in pregnancy, and more importantly I think, did she experience lactogenesis II (a milk surge on day 2-5 or so)? Can a skilled bf helper get the baby to latch? What kind of pump is the electric pump? Is she using it correctly and has she been pumping 8x the whole time? Do the flanges fit her correctly? Could the baby latch with a shield? Could a supply line be used? Are they kangaroo caring? I have quite a few moms (unfortunately) who are not bf optimally. That is they are initiating one or two days postpartum, they are topping off, they are doing breast and bottle. They lose their milk quickly. It is use it or lose it and it happens very fast in my experience. If at all possible, get the two of them bf. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
