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.

Thank you,

Eva Bild
