Pass me the scalpel, I’ll make an incision
I’ll cut off the part of your brain that does the bitching
Put it in formaldehyde and put it in the shelf
And you can show it to your friends and say “that’s my old self”

I was also very touched by this story. But can I ask a question? How did she BF *nine* babies at once? I assume none of them were getting enough milk but it was better than the alternative= starvation.

Maybe she's just producing more, now, you know? Her body adjusted to meet the needs, as if it was just her child going through a REALLY big growth spurt...

I'm not a breast-feeding expert by any means, but my understanding is the body responds as needed...

I know, supply & demand and all. But to go from nursing one baby to nine babies?? I just can't imagine how her body could keep up with that.
