Pat states:
One thing that I have found interesting is that all of my clients
who had
BR surgery had plenty of colostrum, satisfying their babies to good
weight
gain, only to find that the mature milk flow was inadequate to
nourish
their babies.  This delayed failure seems to be a greater loss to
them than
if they had not had a promising beginning.

I wonder if the problem in these cases is disruption of the
innervation to the nipple.  The hormone shifts that occur with
removal of the placenta may have been enough to supply "plenty of
colostrum" but if there is disruption to the innervation of the
nipple, then there is not that stimulation to keep the supply
adequate once the initial hormone change has subsided.
