I just read today that "more milk results when breast skin temperature is
high."  No citation, so I wouldn't put too much stock in it until
corroborating evidence comes up, but it WOULD fit with this model of
kangaroo care-> more milk, since kangaroo care would result in higher
breast skin temperature.
