To all,

Need sleep desperately right now after a 12 hour shift, so please excuse
my laziness for not looking this up myself.  I seem to recall reading or
hearing at a conference that the peptide theory of milk production
regulation had been either disproven or at least down-graded in its
importance in autocrine regulation????

Also, regardless of a woman's capacity to store milk, it would seem to me
that the frequency of feeding would be largely regulated by how much milk
the baby is comfortable taking in at one time.  I would imagine that if a
mom did not produce the "average" amount of milk at each feeding then her
baby would feed more often in order to get the necessary amount in a 24
hour period.  Babies that are comfortable with a distended belly paired
with mothers who store milk well would probably  eat much less frequently
each day.

Am I missing something here?  Maybe I should have read today's posts
after sleeping.  Is this another sign of Lactnet addiction?

Warmly,
Sharon Knorr, BSMT, LLLL, IBCLC in Newark, New York (near Rochester)
