How do you know that the mom isnt producing enough milk? I am just wondering because most of the time milk comes in on the basis of the greater the demand, the greater of supply. I believe moms milk is so importent in both animals and people. Too many times women will stop nursing their babies too soon because they insist that they dont have enough supply, when in actuality, if bottles are not offered and you feed on demand, you will produce enough milk. Same goes for our furkids too.
