Has a possible Estrogen connection been discussed? Women with more body fat
are often beleived to have more Estrogen in their systems. Estrogen can
suppress supply. It makes sense that women with an estrogen suppressed
supply would breastfeed less successfully and for a shorter period of time.

I have found that women who are obese have a tendency to mentruate sooner,
and this, too may be Estrogen related.

Just one more piece of the puzzle.
