This is slightly off-subject but (I think!) fascinating.

Jan asked:Re: The  mom with low milk supply, What is the shape of her breast? Are the breasts wide spread >with each breast being almost tubular in shape?  If this is the case, I have seen a couple clients where the >mother never did produce a lot of milk with this shape of breast.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember that according to Jewish law, a man has grounds for divorcing his wife if her breasts are more than a hand's span apart. Could this indicate knowledge of an inability to make milk because of lack of glandular development, and therefore a serious problem for somebody wishing for heirs?

Just wondering.
