Conversation with one of the substitute daycare teachers (I've met her before, but it's not like I know her at all!):
Her: Can I see your baby?
Me: well, she's nursing, so ... there's her ear!
Her: Oh, you're breastfeeding! That's great!
Me: Thanks!
Her: Do you have lots of milk?
Me: uh ....
What on EARTH do you say to that??

Genuine insufficient milk supply does exist, of course, but it's nowhere near common enough to account for all the people I personally have heard this excuse from ...
