<< She had early problems with milk supply but
 seemed quite relaxed about increasing her supply with eating better (she
 had been intending to diet immediately following the birth), drinking
 more fluids and resting while nursing round the clock. >>

Sometimes I get really confused when I hear statements like this one.  Milk
supply depends on the amount of nipple stimulation which is why we say "supply
and demand" and if the milk needs to be increased then pump to receive extra
stimulation.  Then when, if ever, is mother's diet a problem?  Maybe you wise
ones can remove my confusion hat!

Thanks,
Yvonne
