Hello. I've been lurking for a long time now. I'm a breastfeeding counsellor in Victoria BC. A question: I don't have permission from my client to tell you anything about her, but I am wondering if anyone can answer this question hypothetically. Would edema 5 days after birth have anything to do with low milk supply? I was thinking, if pregnancy edema (without a diagnosis of pre-eclampsia) persists after the birth, would that be a sign that the body had not yet recognised the absence of the placenta and was therefore not moving into the making of mature milk? We have referred this client to a lactation consultant, but I am very curious.
