I pumped and bottle fed my son for almost 6 months (he refused to latch, but that's another story for another day). I had to go back on my medication at that point and had to stop giving him breast milk because the meds could potentially be dangerous for him. Anyway, I went from pumping 1.5L a day to nothing in about 2-3 weeks. You're probably right, the cow in the article was probably milking herself because there's no way one can keep up supply with just 1 nursing every 3 weeks like it claims.
