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,
