My son had an interesting question this afternoon, I thought I'd run  
past your collective wisdom.

If a woman in tandem nursing, one child on each breast consistently,  
will the two breasts produce different milk? I know that this is true  
in some cases in the animal kingdom (marsupials, for example).

A related question, are there any cultures in which women in fact  
nurse different children on different breasts? I know of the women in  
Taiwan (I think it's Taiwan) who nurse exclusively on one side, but  
is there anyone who nurses different children on different sides?

Curious minds want to know...

Thanks,
  Naomi
