Becky:

  while i think that i can work with there being a set amount of milk.. and
"hunger" days a michael woolridge prefers to call them...

  where i get stuck is that if we continue to say.... the breast works on
supply and demand and milk production can be created through stimulation...

   if there is only a finite amount available from each breast we need to re
look at some of our "standards" (!)......

   is this finite amount set in the begining of lactation and therfore we
MUST emphasize establish that supply now or for ever be without? (but we have
cases the conadict this)

  how do you expoain adopotive mothers milk supply? - one time only
stimulation? then the receptors are gone...what about the mother with the
slow or no gain whose milk supply is down and we with a box full of toys
bring back he supply?

   not unusual there are mmore questions created than answers answered....
