. The study also found that teen mothers tend to spend a
shorter amount of time nursing, nursed less often and quit nursing
sooner than adult mothers."

Comments, anyone?

Excuse me?  The study said the above and that teens then produced less
milk than adults?  What's the surprise?  If they nursed for shorter
times, and less often, why *wouldn't* we expect them to produce less?
Supply = demand and all that.

Seems the questions should focus on changing the feeding behavior to
include more time spent bf and bf more often to equalize the data...
