Dear Friends:
    Another story to add to this topic.
    There is a case report of a 65 year-old Nigerian  grandmother that bf 3 
of her grandchildren, making good milk 19 years after her  last baby was 
weaned. The case report doesn't say why she bf; her milk was  analyzed and supported 
growth of her grandchildren for over 6 months.
    The let-down reflex never leaves women, once it has  been conditioned. We 
also know that some women have milk for decades after they  are done nursing.
    This is one more way that grandmother energy helps  the following 
generations.
    warmly,
