Are mom's BF benefits increased by nursing multiples?  I think most
of the studies that show a "dose-related" benefit speak of the
benefit increasing with increasing TIME of lactating and do not
mention amount of milk produced.  In that case, the number of babies
one is nourishing at the same time would not be a factor.
However, it does raise the question-Is it really the number of
days/months of lactating or is the amount of milk produced being
interpreted as the time milk over which is produced?

A very interesting question for researchers to pursue!
