I was wondering something similar. I notice that breatfed baby girls have
firmer breasts longer during the early months of breastfeeding, not just
right after birth, and it seems to me that being breastfed and all the
continuing hormones secreted by the mother might be a kick start of sorts
or to "prime the pump" so to speak to help the female later on when she
herself becomes a breastfeeding mother. It seems that many first time moms
struggle with suffient milk supply and one reason may be if they
themselves were't breastfeed, they may not have had this early on breast
preparation. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Just a thought.
Just brainstorming outload,
