Mum shares progress made by her twins who never tasted breast milk
A Nigerian mother shares the inspiring journey of her twins who thrived without breast milk. Their remarkable progress highlights the importance of alternative feeding methods and parental care.
A mother has shared the progress made by her twins amid a debate demonising mothers who give babies formula.
It began when a mother shared the tins of baby formula her baby consumed.
Mummy Zee, a woman who went viral years ago for saying she wakes up by 4am despite her pregnancy to cook for her husband, replied, stating that exclusive breastfeeding is always cheaper.
Her statement divided opinions as some people agreed with her and shamed mothers who are using baby formula.
On the other hand, many mothers disagreed and shared how it was unrealistic for them to breast feed exclusively. Some fathers also shared why their wives could not breastfeed exclusively.
Reacting, a mum shared photos of her children and wrote: "My twins never tasted breast milk.
"I was fighting for my life; physically and mentally.
"Everything was done to help me produce milk, but it did not happen.
"I remember feeling afraid and ashamed.
"Then a quiet voice said to me: they will be alright.
"I trusted that voice.
"Today, my babies are healthy.
"They are top of their classes.
"Life happens.
"I'm beyond grateful."
