Opal, you are spot on! Research done by Peter Hartmann would back you up!
In fact we are made for even more than twins if need be. I sometimes
mention the mothers of ages past who wet-nursed several children at once -
at least 5, I think for many. It is definitely true that we need to
downgrade our supplies to feed just one baby. So keep telling them this.
