Looking for picture  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I once saw a picture of a woman (from India or Africa) who had twins - a boy & girl, but was told that she could only nurse one (misinformation). So the picture was of her holding her babies, only one was a big beautiful healthy baby (bf'd boy) and the other was very sickly, skinny, dull-eyed (ff'd girl). The caption explained the above and also noted that the girl died only 3 days after the picture was taken. (that poor momma)

Anyway, a friend wanted a copy (she'd bf'ing, but many of her relatives are trying to get her to stop, because "formula is easier and just the same anyway") and she thought that maybe seeing just how much of a difference it can make might make them think a little harder.

Thanks...
