I agree that there is a big difference between the fat, happy, frequently eating baby and the feeding all the time, unhappy, not gaining well baby and their moms who think they "don't have enough milk." I come from a LLLL(1967) background (2 meetings a mo) and an early IBCLC(1985) and APN(1994) and I just hate to see things 'labelled' when some simple fixes take care of the problem. I know there are true medical reasons for 'not enough milk'. but I think some people jump in that direction too fast and labeling helps the jump. Years ago it was accepted that about 5% of mothers wouldn't produce enough, IGT, hormones, PCOCs etc. Has that changed? I also know that sometimes it is the baby's problem (TT, low tone, "content to starve" etc) and that needs to be fixed or assisted by pumping/supplementing. We've come so far since the 1980's, has the 5% really changed or are the problems caused by what happens in the hospital or shortly after, with no support?
