<<does this explain why some women are able to produce larger VOLUMES of
milk than other women, or why some babies might want to feed more often than
others>>

Yes, and yes. And, just to make it more interesting, each baby has different metabolic needs for food at different cyclic intervals. In adults, the urge to eat happens about every 90 minutes, as it does in babies with free access to the breast. Or even more often. For both.
