Children's Hospital Breastfeeding Management Clinic provides a comprehensive approach to breastfeeding challenges for the baby and family. We can support any mother and baby having challenges (e.g., low milk, sore nipples) with breastfeeding from birth through older children (e.g., weaning). We see self-referrals, as well as referrals from community physicians, birth centers and other lactation programs.
Our "Trifecta Team" (a pediatrician with breastfeeding expertise, a lactation consultant and a psychologist) offers a unique multidisciplinary team of services for a comprehensive breastfeeding evaluation of both mother and baby. It's covered by most insurance companies so only a copay is required.

Dsyphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER) presents itself with slight variations depending on the mother experiencing it, but it has one common characteristic - a wave of negative or even devastating emotion just prior to letdown.
This emotional response is the consistent key component in D-MER. The breastfeeding mother experiences this surge of negative emotions about 30-90 seconds prior to her milk release when breastfeeding, pumping or with spontaneous MER.
By the time milk actually releases and the baby starts gulping, the feelings have dissipated, only to return just prior to another MER.
The emotional responses experienced with D-MER fall within a three-level spectrum: despondency, anxiety and agitation.
