One of our LLL Multiples group co-leaders fully BF her triplets from 39
weeks (born at a bit less than 35 weeks) to about 7 months and then
continued to BF until each self-weaned - one before 18 months and the other
two until after 3 years. I feel sure she would be happy to correspond with
this expectant MOM. Also, I can't encourage mothers of twins (MOT) and
mothers of higher multiples (MOM) to join/participate in the Yahoo Group
APMultiples (all one word when searching). It is essentially a worldwide
group of MOT/MOM and most either BF or EBMF (or a combo) their multiples.
Several in the group currently have BF/EBMF triplets, including my
co-leader. The link to that group is:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/apmultiples/. There's also a fair amount of
info re: BF multiples at my website. (See my signature tag.)
She might also enjoy the photo montage re: Natural Birth of Twins and
Triplets at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E-wULAaD50
All the best to this expectant MOM!
