OMG! I've just read the full paper. The test is proposed as a solution to the problem of perceived insufficient milk. I too cannot see how this research could be extrapolated from women who are breastfeeding without any problems to women experiencing difficulties. I'm just in the process of writing up more research on milk sharing and 4 (out of 41) of the milk recipients were women who were separated from their infants for prolonged periods of time because they were working and who had no problem with low milk supply but who were unable to express milk. Some women are not very responsive to a pump. I can see that if women do this test and perform well that it could potentially rule out low milk production. However, for women who do not express much milk it says nothing. I doubt that this it how it would be interpreted by most.
