Hi, as a matter of anecdote, it was during world war I, in North-Eastern area of France; my husband's grand-mother was feeding at her mother's breast when there was a bomb (*) exploding a part of the house; the mother died during the feed; she had told us rapidly about her mother she had quite not known and I had not dared asking any further about it; none will know more now, because it has around one hundred years; (*) or maybe whizz-bang/shell/shrapnell Breast regards, Françoise Coudray Amicalement, Françoise Coudray President of ADJ+ (means Breastfeeding twins and +) http://www.allaitement-jumeaux.com/ http://www.allaitement-jumeaux.com/expo2001/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janice Reynolds" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 6:31 AM Subject: Woman breastfeeding her daughter when death struck > Woman breastfeeding her daughter when death struck > http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=14305 > > KUALA LUMPUR: A woman was believed to be breastfeeding her three-year-old > daughter when they were buried alive by a massive landslide in Kampung > Pasir in Hulu Klang on Wednesday (May 31, 2006. > > Both Hayati Mohd Yunus, 24, and her daughter Helina were found by recuers > this morning (June 2, 2006) in an embrace position that suggested that she > was breastfeeding her daughter when death struck them. > > (that's the entire reference to breastfeeding) > > This story made me remember another recent story, that I had posted to > Lactnet, after the earthquake in India in October > 2005:http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0505770.htm > "Her 1-month-old daughter died in her arms when the roof of her house > collapsed while she was breast-feeding." > > Janice Reynolds > > > > > With all due respect... it's mentioned because it's a poignant detail.... > that's what reporters look for. :-) > > -- Jodine *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
