High blood loss is usually followed by fatigue due to iron deficiency anemia caused by the blood loss.  She needs to pump 8-12 times per day and that alone is a lot of work for a tired, anemic mom.  Sometimes the fatigue plays a huge role in mom's not wanting to keep on going to build their supply, so yes, a balanced diet with plenty of highly bioavailable iron will help.  Most importantly with multiples and all that work of pumping, she needs someone to think up and prepare those meals and snacks for her... If there is a dietitian that can work with a caregiver to come up with meal ideas, that would be the best help she can get so she can focus on all the pumping and caring for the multiples until her supply increases.
