Jan Barger posts on the variation in fat content between mothers and over time. I can't make this fit with my study on a sample of one mother of twins, my friend, who has so little body fat that I wondered how she even menstruated before getting spontaneously pregnant with twins, her 3rd and 4th children. She fed them, together, every four hours because that's when they were hungry. Her breasts even then were barely visible with the naked eye. Her children grew well, were sleek and round and thriving. They are adolescents today and have their parents' build, tall and svelte. We never checked fat content because why would we? But how does this fit the theory you outlined, Jan?
