Since I missed this year's ILCA conference (although Tom Hale "took me there" for a few brief, shining moments) I have been fondly paging through previous year's conference materials. I came across a presentation given by Michael Woolridge that speaks to repeated recent inquiries on Lactnet: "The Analysis, Classification, Etiology of Diagnosed Low Milk Output". A tape was made of this session which is probably still available through First Tape (anyone who doesn't have the ordering info can email me, as I have it...somewhere). It is an interesting presentation of Dr. Woolridge's observations. At the time he made the presentation, he believed that interventions might improve production in women who were producing 300 grams (>10 ounces) or more per 24 hours; he found that levels of 150 - 300 grams per day (~ 5 - 10 ounces) output were unresponsive to interventions. There was, of course, much more to the presentation. As always, he provides a thought-provoking data. Margery Wilson, IBCLC [log in to unmask]
