Thanks to everyone for all those posts. They're very interesting. Every time I've searvhed I've got different answers, but it seems a lot of the research is based on cows. Y ou won't be surprised to hear that the researchers were getting so excited at the implications of being able to increase lactation in cows: "It would end food poverty". And no, I can't find the article.
I did find this easy to read piece on Kellymom Facebook, posted by Dr Jen 4 kids. I hope this link works:
