I have never seen any research on this for women breastfeeding multiples,
and I'm curious.  Most mothers of triplets or more do some supplementation
with ABM, but they still usually produce more than 70 ounces a day.  Is the
protection from fertility based on exclusive breastfeeding, or amount of
milk produced by the mother?
