"One Mom told me that she felt that her baby must be
starving because he wanted to nurse all the time and that she must not have
any milk for him...Denial ++ but I am puzzzling as to why."
Dear Friends:
    This fear of insufficient milk is ubiquitous to humans; it is present 
world wide. There are prayers and charms and special foods designed to assure 
abundant milk. It is a natural human fear, once the baby is born and the mother 
has the responsibility to keep it alive by  her own efforts.
    Doesn't the name La Leche League come from a statue, and refers to "Our 
Lady of the Bountiful Milk?"
    warmly,
