Age and multiples (she's 40, holding twins)--or so they tell her. They also tell her she cannot exclusively nurse two (she is child of a nursing-only mother, is mother to two only-nursed boys). What's going on? This is Canada running the show. (We her parents, like her, are US citizens). I fear she is getting overwhelmed, and do so very much thank you for your prayers. Wherever two or more are gathered in my name.....

I’m a lactation consultant. That’s a crock of Shit. She can nurse two babies fine. Biggest concern is prematurity to nursing.

THANK YOU! When I was first pregnant in 1978, the word was that nature didn't know how many babies you had birthed, so offered enough milk to feed more than one, and within a short time regulated the supply to suit the offspring.

Good grief. Absolutely she can nurse two. It will be harder, and she may choose to pump and have a family member bottle feed sometimes. But hogwash she can’t nurse two. God made a woman’s body on purpose for exactly this.

It may be a medicolegal thing for the nurse midwife or whomever does home deliveries - may not have coverage for home deliveries in certain situations. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Her first two were home deliveries--baby #2 gave his mother only 45 minutes warning before appearing. She has not had difficulty!
