Nevermind 
I know you all mean well so I'm trying not to be irritated. I didn't realize that my whole post was going to be nit picked apart. I completely agree about many of your points, like the "empty breast" thing. I would never say that to a client.
It's very clear that everyone has formed their own opinions based on experience, which is not EVIDENCE based. I could talk and talk about my son who nursed for hours if I let him, etc, etc but that does not dictate what is true for every women. I was just trying to convey what is current thinking in the professional lactation community.
I just want to point out that Nettletea's situation is perfect example of how this would work to the benefit of women that don't what their doing. If the baby is nursing and nursing, often inexperienced mothers might think the baby isn't getting enough milk and thus they begin supplementing. If they brought this issue to and IBCLC, she/he could begin to have a dialogue with the client about inverted nipples and thyroid issues, both which can contribute to low milk production and thus possibly ftt babes.
As for the low calorie intake stuff, there is again no evidence that supports this idea. Many women in refuge and poverty situations nurse perfectly healthy, while themselves and the rest of the family is malnourished. If someone can show me actual peer reviewed evidence that shows otherwise, than I would love to see it.

and that's always nice to hear!
because I do not enjoy being center of attention. (One of the differences is that EBF mother pkg includes gallon milk, but FF mother pkg includes powdered milk.)
