Hi:  I have permission to post this from a client who had twins at 33 weeks 
gestation (first pregnancy).  They are now 2 weeks post birth.  She had a 
lump removed from 1 breast years ago- it became engorged when her milk 
came in, now can pump only 5 mls from that breast at each pumping session.  
She is just now able to pump 80-120 mls from the other breast about 7 times 
per day (which gives her 560-650 per day, which is great for 1 breast).  She's 
wondering about taking galactagogues to increase the supply even more. Also 
wondering if she needs to pump the breast that is producing so little, in order 
to keep up (or increase) the supply in the other breast.  Can anyone give us 
some guidance here?  I seem to remember hearing that stopping pumping on 
one side will affect the other.  Thank you in advance for any help.  Jan
