Conjoined Babies a Blessing, Says Mom
From the article:
But these babies are joined at the head and breast feeding them is a
challenging dance that takes two people and a whole lot of patience, something their 21-year-old mother, Felicia Simms, seems to have in abundance. ...
"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.
Laughter punctuates much of Simms’s conversations about the twins.
"It’s quite awkward," she said about breastfeeding mechanics, although she appeared impossibly relaxed about a situation that would overwhelm most people.
