This just made me smile!
Please, if you get a chance, do take the opportunity to get to an LLL meeting
occaisionally, or whatever is the equivilent in your part of hthe world.
Seeing happy, normal breastfeeding mothers and babies will refresh your spirit and
make your day!

Norma, your post made me smile! Last evening at our LLL Multiples Mom group
we had three MOT with difficulties similar to those Judy G. described in her
post yesterday! Aack! (The length of gestation for the different women were:
1=35 wk, 1=36 wk; 1=39+ wk -- not unusual to have full-term or close to term
twins or more with lots of BF difficulties.) We also had a MOT of 15 month old
twins who had worked through similar issues when her twins were young infants.
Even though it wasn't possible to "solve" all their problems, their comments re:
finding there were others like them and that it is possible to work through
the difficulties were so poignant. Again and again, Dee Keith (co-Leader) and I
pointed out that some of their difficulties had more to do with having two
infants vs. the breastfeeding. These mothers are truly inspiring...

Karen
