I have heard through other LC's over the last few yrs. that women w/ a hx of anorexia or bulemia may have difficulty w/ an insufficient milk production for exclusive breastfeeding. I have looked for info to support or refute this, but have been unable to locate any. If any of you have info pertaining to the effect that a hx of anorexia/bulemia might have on milk supply, please e - mail me privately. I received a call from a mom who has a 2 yr old and is now 7 mos pregnant and concerned because she "failed" at brstfdg the first time because her "milk never came in". I need to get a thorough hx on mom; however, I do know that there are no medical problems that she is aware of except this hx of anorexia when she was a teen. I'd like to have as much info as possible on this connection before I meet with her next week. Thanks so much. Elizabeth Ricci, RN, BSN, IBCLC Downingtown, PA
