In a message dated 00-06-22 19:13:17 EDT, you write: << Does anyone know why the Pakastani mother only breastfed one of the twins? >> Denise, The way it was explained to me was that the mother was told (probably erroneously) that she could only produce sufficient milk for one child and because in her culture boys are significantly more valued than girls the male infant was chosen to receive his mother's life sustaining milk.
