Does baby #2 "reset" your boobs?

We are thinking about ttc #2 late this summer and it's got me wondering:

If I stop bf'ing DS before my milk comes in for (hypothetical) DC#2, will my supply be "reset" back to where it was when DS was first born?

I think I sort of ruined my own supply by not pumping enough, so I'm wondering if I get a second chance to do it right the next time.

    I don't know for sure, but I highly doubt that your supply for #1 is going to have any effect on supply for #2.  Your body will respond appropriately when you have another child.

    I've actually heard you produce more easily with #2+. Not sure how true it is, but I like the idea of it.
