As you can imagine Boston papers have been filled with articles
about Jane Swift and all aspects of her past, present and future,
including her pregnancy with twins. My sense is the reason that she
is not talking about whether she will breastfeed is that this is
part of her family life and none of anyone else's business. She
works hard to protect her family from the limelight. Who knows
what will happen once the babies are born, but I think she's entitled
to some privacy.
