This is the article on IV fluids and newborn weight loss: https://internationalbreastfeedingjournal.biomedcentral.com/

This is the website that is a comprehensive resource for Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex: www.d-mer.org. The retired IBCLC who named DMER and has done so much work to bring this common experience to light, Alia Macrina Heise, was recently interviewed on Dr. Elliott Berlin’s podcast Informed Pregnancy. Check out the interview at https://www.informedpregnancy.com/listen/episode/37e63d1b/dysphoric-milk-ejection-reflex-alia-macrina-heise.
