This has never been studied as far as I know.  However, I don't believe
that women over 40 produce milk in inadequate amounts.  They produce
less than teenagers, (everything slows a bit when you get older) but
teenagers often have problems with overabundance.

I have seen one woman who was *post*menopausal at 48, got pregnant with
a donated ovum, had plenty of milk and breastfed exclusively for 6
months.
