Hi Nikki!

You wrote: "The prolactin receptor sites need to be emptied of progesterone
and filled
with prolactin during the early postpartum for the mother's milk supply to
be sufficient for her 4 or 5 month old baby."

Wow, I knew about the importance of early and efficient postpartum suckling
to program long term milk supply, and need for progesterone evels to go
down, as progesterone inhibits prolactin, but was not aware that
progesterone blocked prolactin by filling the same receptor sites! Where
can I read about this?
