Dear Friends: Doesn't the work of Peter Hartman teach that when babies wait longer for feeds, the milk fills the breast and the rate of milk synthesis decreases? Peaker and Parker demonstrated that this is nature's dry up mechanism when they threaded a catheter into the cistern of a goat's teat, and added fluid; when the fluid content of the cistern was high, the rate of milk synethesis decreased. warmly, Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI Maternal-Child Adjunct Faculty Union Institute and University Film Editor, Journal of Human Lactation Support the WHO Code and the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
