yes---decrasing pumping should help decrease the number of episodes per day, 
but will probably not decrease their intensity.  SOunds like a strange 
response to her oxytocin release.  I don't think you said how old the babies 
are...these situations do tend to improve with time, but it may take a few 
months.

I would refer her to a mental health specialist to determine the degree of 
her depression.  She would likely benefit from some medication and 
counseling.  I would imagine she has some degree of underlying depression, 
and now has TWINS to deal with, as well as the guilt of decreasing her 
pumping.
