Gonneke,

What a descriptive term!

<The LC hypothesed that the very large milklake of 700ml was
built becauyse the momhad a large storing capacity and leaked a lot from
the
non-used breast. So not only the milk the baby drank, but also the leaked
milk was reproduced and in her large breasts mom could store up to 700ml
before feeling oncomfortable and getting problems. By emptying the
breasts
completely the milklake was removed and by feeding both breast there was
no
''unused breast'' that needed leaking to empty.>

Sort of like flood control, opening the "dam" to control the level of the
lake now and then. One more way to "skin a cat" as our old saying goes!
