Cathy Bargar asked:

> there is a very pervasive belief among these
families that Asian women "can't make enough milk", at least in this
country, and there is a tendency to believe that that is the case even when
their own exclusively BF babies are huge, healthy, & massively thriving,
positively glowing with good health........ Could it have something to do
with relative breast size - they look so small next to us Americans that
they just figure there's not enough breast tissue?

Cathy, I have also seen this. Several mothers have actually TOLD me that this is why
they *cannot* make enough milk, all evidence to the contrary. No, it doesn't make
sense, but that is what they believe.

Norma, who is less than an hour south of Ithaca NY, and who believes that the
ability to bf, like sex, is mainly in the brain.
