V. quick comment: I don't think a low-potassium diet would be a problem 
for the *mother*, because her body would simply compensate by adjusting 
the amount of potassium she excreted in the urine and, if need be, by 
drawing more from her intracellular stores to keep serum levels in the 
normal range.  So I don't think there's any danger in a healthy adult 
going on a low potassium diet.  I just don't think it would work to get 
the levels in the milk down far enough.


Best wishes,

Sarah
