I have tried x2 to send this but got error messages. I apologize if this has been seen before. Someone already said (see archives) that if low estrogen caused poor wound healing then all bf moms with episiotomies or c/s wound have poor wound healing. I would not advise weaning. I would advise to check for diabetes? wound infection? fistula? I would suggest she may want to consult a certified enterostomal therapist/wound or skin care specialist. Most large hospitals have them on staff.
