In Guatemala, after the earthquake in 1976, mothers in rural areas
reported losing their milk due to the trauma.  One relief agency very
wisely fed the infant formula to the mothers and had mothers put babies
back to breast.  The coordinator was a dairy farmer from Canada and knew
about relactation.

I believe the "supplement" acted as a placebo.  Mothers felt nurtured
and nourished, babies fed at breast, milk returned.
