Pcos and low brestmilk supply
Hi doc, I was diagnosed with pcos and was on medication before my pregnancy.and had thyroid during my third trimester. Now I am 42 days postpartum with really low brestmilk supply. Already tried meds to increase milk supply but with no results.
Is pcos and thyroid a reason for low brestmilk supply ?.
If it is , are there any treatments to increase milk supply?
