Also - don't forget about recent info regarding extrinsic vs intrinsic  
cuin=
g on appetite.  Adults who respond to extrinsic cuing (external cues -  
a fu=
ll plate must be finished) tend to have more weight issues than those  
who r=
espond to intrinsic cues (internal cues of fullness and they push away  
the =
unempty plate).  What does that remind you of?  Also the research  
which sho=
ws that babies that have to be pushed to finish a bottle are NOT more  
overw=
eight than those that are interminable eaters.  I would LOVE to know  
if bab=
ies of moms that use upright positioning and have high supplies tend  
to hav=
e more weight issues than mothers with average supplies.  Wouldn't  
that be =
a study!"

I can offer one anecdotal piece of evidence: I had an active letdown  
and very bountiful supply. All four of my children are now slender to  
thin adolescents. My fattest baby is now my skinniest teen.

It would be a very interesting study.
