Peter Hartmann made a passing comment at a conference once (one of those
"what did he just say?" moments that he seems so full of) that he doesn't
consider a woman's milk supply to have reached its full potential until
around 6 months.  I've never heard it repeated, and don't know exactly what
he meant by it, but it's a hope-giving line for mothers, and this mom
certainly bears it out...
