Dear Friends:
    Twice in the past week now, I have encountered  women that conceived 
spontaneously, delivered babies, had no retained placental  fragments, and never 
got any milk. One woman, that I made a home visit for with  her 4th baby, never 
got any milk with baby #1 and twins of pregnancy #2. Her  breasts were 
flaccid, and not veined. The other woman had no milk with her 1st  baby, and is 
presently experiencing the same situation with her second. I saw  this woman in 
the hospital on postpartum day two and noticed  no prominent veining at all. 
Neither of them had any breast growth in  pregnancy either.
         When these women stop  breastfeeding and switch to bottles of human 
milk substitutes, they don't get  engorged and have no breast changes. 
    How can this be?
    warmly,
