I've done some asking around regarding what people know about tandem feeding and the effects on supply, but the supply expert is away for another 3 weeks. I'll let you know what I find out. My belief is that second lactations tend to be better, and that the extra stimulation can't hurt your supply, it just depends on how much milk she gets. If she always feeds second, she will end up with the higher fat milk, but less of it. Given that one of the standard recommended treatments for supply problems is more pumping, she will effectively be doing that for you, in a hopefully more relaxed manner!
And if you have any problems, I would think that J would be happy to have you measure your supply, and see how it is going - this is one of the projects that is ongoing with the group, and tandem feeding is a variation that isn't seen very often.
(some of this you probably know anyway, but I'm working on the telling what I can think of approach, rather than just what I think you won't know).
