hi, linda!

i have tandem or triandem nursed through 4 pregnancies over this last  
decade and every single time i had mature milk that gradually became  
colostrum-milk toward the last couple of weeks. i also worried that  
the finite supply of colostrum was being used up before the new baby  
could be born. however, in each and every single case, birth triggered  
the cycle to begin anew and i always reverted back to pure colostrum  
shortly after each birth.

  protecting the colostrum for sleepy newborns when i had voracious  
toddlers was another matter, however - which led me to assigning  
breasts and the fascinating discovery that the newborn breast  
maintained colostrum much longer than the toddler breast as i watched  
them produce milk completely independently of each other !! - but that  
is another topic.
hth!

fevers up to 105 and accompanying hallucinations for all 5 children at  
once and is just now beginning to see the humor in it all, as they  
recover...)
