With this baby, we
are encouraging not only exclusive breastfeeding,  but also pumping so she
could stockpile extra milk in preparation for  weaning.  So at the time of
weaning her body will be  over-producing.  I think that this will impact the
rate of involution,  don't you?

My experience that I think to in this situation is different, but yet  
applies in terms of drying up.  I've dealt with more than one mom whose  baby died 
suddenly, so was at full production of milk with frequent nursing, who  had a 
remarkable shut down of production quite quickly (within a few  days) with 
large quantities of sage ingested daily.  With 3 to 4 weeks  to accomplish 
involution, I would think it would be just as possible and if  medication were used 
instead of, or in addition to herbs, drying up well should  be possible.  No?
