Hmmmm... that definitely wasn't going on with us.  I had enough milk to
pump anywhere from 8 to 20 ounces twice a day *plus* nurse Trevor on my
lunch hour.  He had more than doubled his birth weight by the time I
returned to work when he was 10 weeks old so I don't think he was having
any trouble transferring milk.  And there was no apparent issue with fast
flow, overactive letdown, etc.  I think he just figured out that it was a
lot easier to get milk from that darn bottle.  ;)  He was fortunate to
have a very stubborn mother, though.  LOL.

Cee
