This was back in the 1800s. He said that the wet nurses had as many as 30 nursing sessions per day, and he estimated that they produced 5 QUARTS of milk. Amazing."

So to make more milk, the whey protein has to be drained along with the milk. The more times the breasts are drained the more milk they will produce. For a look a the anatomy and physiology of a lactating breast, visit this webpage: http://www.breastfeeding.com/helpme/helpme_images_anatomy.html Fondly, Lenore Goldfarb, Ph.D.,CCC,IBCLC Wife to Rob, Mom to Adam aged 13, and Ethan aged 9, both born via GS and breastfed via Regular Newman-Goldfarb Protocol.
