I find it very interesting that several others have also noted a decrease in milk supply after the introduction of birth control pills, including the "safe" minipill. I, too, have had several of these, and after thorough screening for other factors, the removal of the minipill resulted in a resurgence of milk supply. When I mentioned this on the midwife listserv recently, I was immediately challenged by one midwife who says that she has been prescribing it for years with no problems. My response was that I don't generally hear from mothers who are successful, I hear from mothers who are having a problem, and I screen them appropriately. She wanted references to support my position, and of course I don't have any. If there are more of you out there with the same experience, maybe it's time for a study?! -Lisa ****************************************************************************** Lisa A.
