Breastfeeding 1-2-3

Breastfeeding Conjoined Twins

by Angela White, J.D., breastfeeding counselor on November 13th, 2006

The Canadian Chronicle Herald published an amazing and inspiring story of how 21-year-old Felicia Simms breastfeeds her conjoined twins who are joined at their heads:

Although Simms breastfed her two older kids, it’s a whole new beginning with her twins.

“What’s the most challenging part of breastfeeding them?” Simms said. “Positioning!”

“It’s very complicated because when one is on the breast the other has to be tilted and has to be slanted downwards.

“You’re feeding one and the other will suck on its tongue and you have to give it a soother or something because it wants food.

“We’re trying to figure out how to feed both of them at the same time,” Simms said, bursting out laughing.
