Hi, I am currently working with a very desparate mother who has connective tissue disease, a new 7-day old baby, and very low milk supply. I worked with this mother with her first child, and she had very low supply during the course of breastfeeding with that child as well. My understanding is that this disease is similar to Lupus in that the connective tissues of the body become inflamed and a primary target of pathology. Currently, this mother has no symptoms. She has had no symptoms for 2 years. Why, then, would there be a problem with her supply? I am searching for the mechanism behind low supply and inflammatory diseases. It would be nice to have some type of explanation. We will be trying mom on Reglan, but this didn't work with her first child. She used an SNS for 6 months with the first child, and really does not look forward to having to do this again. If anyone can contribute to a theory here, I would love to hear from you!
