I have a couple thoughts on this. Perhaps a baby vulnerable to "breastmilk
colitis" needs EFA's for gut healing. I do wonder if some infants not
recieving adequate EFA's in the breastmilk will drive up supply because they are not
satisfied without them. I believe improving the mothers diet will help in
cases of breastmilk colitis, but I probably don't have references to offer that
support this. Sometimes in cases of allergy we start removing a lot of foods
from the mother's diet but don't replace the nutrients those foods were
providing.

Rachel, I agree with you. I have one of the other references here -
the one by Abakada and Hartmann. This is from 1988, so quite old. I
have heard Peter Hartmann say many a time that the fat content of
milk is related to the degree of breast emptiness and *not* the
maternal intake. Only the fatty acid profile changes with diet.
