I heard from a friend of mine the theory that only as many nipples fill with milk as there are kittens. Don't know if it's true, but it would be interesting to find out if it were.

When CJ was nursing her three, she had three full ones. After Limeny died, and she was only nursing two, there were only two that were filled. It all depends on which one is getting the nursing... it'll fill as long as it's being used. It's normal.
