When I was at a breastfeeding day-stay recently ,the lactation consultant did a very comprehensive history on me to try to determine what was the cause of my low milk supply.
After I said I had PCOS, she went away to do some research and came back with the information that PCOS can be a cause of low milk supply. In my situation, it is probably the PCOS, in combination with a c/section, delayed & painful recovery with morphine for 2 weeks post-birth, and a baby who is a lazy sucker.
Has anybody else with PCOS experienced low supply issues?
I am wondering what is the best way to minimise the effect of PCOS on my supply. Low GI diet? Metformin? I stopped taking the metformin when I fell pregnant, and haven't started re-taking it yet because I forgot to ask my OB about it at my check-up appt.
