Hi Betsy,

This rang bells with me.  I had a mom with a baby that seemed unable 
to stimulate an adequate milk supply, even with frequent feedings.  
Could this baby have been latching badly or have a weak suck?  She 
introduced solids at about 3 1/2 months (to avoid bottles?) and 
continued to nurse for at least a year.

Her experience with her next baby was a tottaly different story.  She 
had a very adequate milk supply and as far as I know, nursed 
exclusively for at least 6 months.  I never managed to figure this out.  
Your comments would be helpful. (I am not an IBCLC and my training 
was more than 20 years ago).

Thanks,
Pat (Cape Town)
