I know I'm behind, so if this has been discussed, ignore me...

Reading about the difference in storage capacity in different women I was
wondering if storage capacity could change/increase from one BF child to the
next in the same woman. What I'm thinking is that with your first baby your
capacity grows with the growing demands of the baby, so if you had a small
capacity to start with, maybe it increased with growing demands of the baby
with each growth spurt. Then with a second baby, there would be a bigger
capacity to start with. This may be more likely if you didn't quit nursing
at all, or for long, between babies. This would help to explain why a second
child could go much longer between feedings than the first, and also could
get more milk faster and so finish faster.

Any thoughts about this?
