Yes, I certainly agree with Margaret that there are true oversuppliers, just as there really 
are breasts that don't make enough.  I think probably those oversuppliers in other cultures 
might be the ones giving their cowives, sisters, daughters, etc a break when they are 
needed to give the mom a break.

And yes, I have met my share of women who really are oversuppliers by nature, not by 
getting out of sync with their babies.

Its just I find that the proportion of women whose supply is out of sync with their infants to 
be really to great for there not to be another explanation for many of them.  And I really 
think part of it has to do with books that put women on very weird routines. Just like the 
fact that the C-section rates in Manhattan are 45% in some hospitals. Yes, a tiny proportion 
of those women really did need the C-section.  But 45%? 

Best, Susan
