That's an interesting point- but I also believe that in some cases letdown
is slow or lessened because she isn't focusing on her baby.  A couple of
weeks ago a mom said that she was so distracted while nursing that she was
having letdown problems.  I told her to have her husband take the older kids
away asnd spend quiet time with the baby and things improved dramatically.

I always have, going back to my undergraduate research in reproductive
physiology.  I've loved endocrinology since I laid my paws on it and it's
what I always try to do.  I'm used to it, but I'm not a bona fide LC.  This
is just an extension of the even wierder things I've done- like
investigating the sex lives of prairie voles and trout.  (Huh? I hear. :-)  )

Let's not lose sight of the fact that ALL babies who are artificially fed
are guinea pigs in the biggest human nutritional field experiment ever
conducted.- Arly Helm
