Did anyone else catch the special on conjoined twins on Discovery Health channel the other night? One set, joined at the lower spine, was shown in a couple of scenes being breastfed. The babies were about 6 months I think. Mom had to hold her arm way out to hold the babies side by side - one was way out in front of her - while nursing the other. I would imagine this took quite a bit of arm strength! The family lived somewhere in Africa. My first thought on seeing this was that if mom had lived in the US, she would have been told it was impossible to breastfeed. The doctors were amazed at how well they did after separation. I was sitting there telling the TV that the breastmilk certainly helped! *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
