Yes. The nipples, from which the tiny joeys derive their nourishment, are located in the pouch.
The mother can produce two different types of milk to suit the needs of two different aged joeys. She might have a more mature joey that spends less time in the pouch, while a very young embryo has attached itself to a teat. Each joey has different milk requirements - which the mother is able to supply.

How long do baby kangaroos drink their mothers milk?
Baby kangaroos feed on their mothers' milk for up to a year. They are completely dependent upon the milk for the first 6-7 months (for the larger species), but even after they begin eating vegetation, they will still return to the pouch for milk from time to time. Female kangaroos can have two joeys of completely different ages in her pouch at the same time, each drinking a different type of milk suitable for their age, whilst a third, almost-grown joey may stick its head inside the pouch occasionally to also have a drink.
