Thanks to all who have sent ideas.  As usual, the information I received
only gave me more things to learn about.

One suggestion was to use saw palmetto berries....the mother should consume
3 -5 per day while lactating.  Of course, I am seeking  more information
about this before I start mentioning it around............the post said
they stimulate the natural functioning of the mammary glands.  Up till now
I've only heard about their use in reference to prostate health........hmm,
interesting dual purpose, if it proves true......

It's also of interest to me because we live in the heart of FL saw palmetto
territory, where the harvest is just beginning........lots of indigent
Jamaican and Haitian immigrant brave-hearts busting rattlesnake-infested
scrubby woods to harvest the berries, and it's a poor yield this year,
coupled with a rock-bottom price of 12 cents per pound.

Hope someone out there knows more on this.
