Does anyone else have the sense that new moms who were themselves breastfed tend to have ample milk supplies? I don't know if I'm actually seeing it, but that's my *sense*. And I got to wondering: when the mother was breastfed, grandma is usually with her after her own delivery. And grandma is certainly seeing and smelling things she saw and smelled a generation earlier. Might she, in turn, be helping to crank up the levels of prolactin and oxytocin in the household, either through her own hormonal levels or by providing a layer of reassurance that a bottle-feeding grandma simply doesn't provide?
That's spinning a lot from a little, but for starters: do others have the sense that they see "easier" milk from women who were breastfed and whose mothers are now with them??
