I'm not a professional (closest thing is that I'll be a LLL Leader Applicant
as of May).  I did want to comment on my own situation with regards to
weight gain & breast feeding success.   I'm assuming that article is talking
about women who keep on the weight.  If that's the case then my situation
doesn't really count since I did lose most of my weight.

I'm 5'7" and was 128# pre-pregnancy.  I gained about 40# during the
pregnancy.  I lost all but 10# within 3 weeks of birth.  I'm still carrying
that 10# but I fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes.  Of the weight I gained,
9#12oz was the baby.  I had to pump to bring in my supply (baby was on
ventilator for five days) and I got about 3 oz per side in 15 minutes of
pumping [single pumping].  I know that I have an abundant supply now.  My
son recently had heart surgery and I had to pump during the time he was
fasting/in surgery.  I got 8 oz. per breast in about 5 minutes [double
pumping].

Like I said, the article probably means women who gained weight and stayed
heavy but in case anyone wanted to know about abundant weight gain,
appropriate weight loss post partum & milk supply there's my story.
