Hello, wise colleagues,

I am looking for research that supports (or disproves) my practice of
encouraging families to pay special attention to how frequently they remove
milk in the first two weeks after birth.

When I was in training, 2009-2012, I was taught that the first two weeks
were a critical period for programming future supply potential, because
this was when prolactin receptors were believed to be laid down. I can't
find research about that now.

Was there ever research to support the special significance of the
first-two-week time period? Does anyone know of newer research that alters
that understanding?

If anyone has any info to share, I would appreciate if you could CC my
personal address, as I don't always get to read the list very quickly.

Thank you.
April
