A beautiful, honest story of one moms feeding journey with her twin boys. Read it with tissues handy! If Micah and Zachary were full-term babies, I would have just assumed that breast milk only came from breasts. I would have been overly zealous about breastfeeding and completely oblivious to the experience of so many babies who receive breast milk from feeding tubes, bottles, g-tubes, and donors. My babies enlightened and inspired me to be more compassionate and less judgemental -- with myself and every mother. Micah and Zachary needed my milk and my presence. I would not sacrifice either to make anyone, including myself, comfortable. Feeding tubes and bottles are not how I planned to nourish my babies, but the important thing is that they received my milk and all of my love. I tried to breastfeed my babies; it didnt work out. So, I did what any mom would do -- I put my babies first and kissed my inhibitions goodbye. huffingtonpost/jennifer-canvasser/when-breast-milk-doesnt-c_b_5630099.html
