I think there was a  misunderstanding here.  The LCs in her hospital 
originally told her to pump  after every feed because she wouldn't have enough milk 
for twins  otherwise.  (Maybe this is what they tell every mother -- but they  
obviously didn't know her history -- her milk supply nearly drowned her first  
baby).  But she stopped doing that weeks ago.  At this point, she only  TRIED 
pumping to release enough of the milk that the babies wouldn't drown, but  
that didn't work -- forceful MER.  As I think I posted earlier, if she  pumps to 
MER only, and turns the pump off, she'll still get 2  ounces....
