"An expectant mother called me tonight to ask if we ever use a puppy to bring in the milk supply.  Her mother was from Morocco and for each of her new babies, (that were born there), a live, aggressive puppy was put to her breast and her milk came in quickly.  Well, OK I can see how this might work but what about a live, aggressive baby that was not sedated from labour and delivery - that might work too!"

Renee did the mom say what "quickly" meant?

I just heard on a conference session recording from last summer that in some childbirth classes expectant mothers are being told not to expect milk for 5 days if they were induced. In that case, a mom whose milk came in sooner than 5 days would count it as "quickly" vs what she expected.
