Jennifer, since you say that the mother is "able to pump enough milk for her
baby," why is it "clear" that the mom doesn't have enough of a milk supply?
It sounds like she has it, the pump is getting it out, but for some reason
the baby still isn't -- that's why she's supplementing with milk pumped after
(and doesn't need to 'after a good feeding').   If that milk is in the breast
now waiting to be pumped out after a "not-so-good feeding" by the baby, why
do you feel "the baby would do well if mom's supply came up" even further?

All of this tends to suggest to me that the problem is still the baby's job
of getting the milk transfered better (thereby both feeding herself and
stimulating her mother), rather than the Reglan-related job of getting mom's
breasts to produce more.

Am I missing something?
