Cathy Appreciate your thoughts and I think some of the factors you describe could be affecting her lactation (6 d.o. infant, 6th baby) like if she's smoking, less responding to infant cues, etc. However....she never experienced a breast fullness or I call it sometimes a milk surge and this is day 6. I was also wondering, like you, if it could be baby factors contributing to this. Like you related the story of the baby w/ CF. However....again, I think we would see the normal "engorgement" or fullness in the first week (usually soon for multiparas) and THEN the milk supply would start to dwindle.
