Just wanted to share:

 

I have a 17 yo mom who is breastfeeding her 36.4 wk newborn (no bottles) who
at the one week weight check gained 7 oz in 5 days!  The really COOL thing
about this story is the teen is black and HER mom is presently still
breastfeeding this girls 2 yr old little brother! I love the fact that this
girl is breaking the statistics on two counts!!!!  (bfg stats are low for
those who are black and for those who are teens)  YEA!!!!!!  I have no doubt
that this young girl will breastfeed her little one long term since her mom
is doing such a great job modeling this for her!
