I think it's an important piece of information when used accurately,
which is that it's true for _some_ women. Not all. As someone who has,
on occasion, pumped out 600 ml in a session with a hospital-grade pump
(after sleeping in), that would have to be one giant tongue-tied baby!
Individual assessment is absolutely crucial in a clinical setting, not
blanket application of information that applies to some women. (and of
course this goes in all directions).
