Rebecca said "Are primarily larger-breasted women the ones
"afflicted" with abundant supplies given their larger storage
capacities? "  Now, I've always been told that breast size doesn't matter.
 That larger breasted women just have more fat in their breasts and that
has nothing to do with production or storage capacity.  Have I missed
something recently?

I think that oversupply may not get as much notice as it should because
women often don't know they have it.  They're so worried about not being
able to make enough milk or not making the right kind of milk (the "blue"
milk stories etc.) that it never crosses their mind that their baby is
fussy and gassy because their supply is too high and nobody has explained
about foremilk/hindmilk etc.  Women even suspect their baby is not getting
enough milk because he is crying when he is gaining HUGE amounts of weight.
 The evidence is right in front of them on the scale and yet they still
have doubts about their abilities to produce enough.
