Carol, Welcome back to Lactnet! I remember you from the "old days". Chen D, Nommsen-Rivers L, Dewey K, Lonnerdal B: Stress during labor and delivery and early lactation performance, Am J Clin Nutr 1998, 68:335-45. is another good study for you to look up. They found greatly increased milk production even up to 6 weeks postpartum in multips that bf more than 12 times a day on the second day of life. (It's just another piece of evidence that early calibration is important to milk production). I look forward to hearing/reading the results of your study.
