For what it's worth, I was thinking of an atrophy to do with a 
biological development that created weaning in a matured child even if 
they are nursing enough times to maintain their skill level..

I wasn't thinking about children who weaned early and then returned (or 
didn't).  Do the same points apply?  (I don't have access to a library, 
so can't check the study itself).

I'm not aware of any adult, for instance, being taught to suckle 
effectively enough to bring in milk and sustain a supply?  What was the 
oldest child in the study, that succeeded?  (Again, apologies, I have no 
access to the study).
