Linda mentioned her experience of the stress of her hospitalized baby causing
her milk supply to increase, not decrease.  That happened to me too when my son
was hospitalized with sepsis at age two.  My milk "magically" increased.  Just
turning over in bed or having fabric brush against my breast was enough to cause
let-down.  We went back to normal, comfortable supply when we came home.

Isn't it amazing how our wonderful bodies know how to take care of our young?

I think that stress may be overrated as causing low milk supply.  Our assumption
that stress is related to low milk supply may be more important.
