Cool or Not? Meet Mum Who Breastfeeds Both Daughters Aged 1 & 3 Simultaneously

Chelsea Craig, a Texas mum who breastfeeds her two daughters simultaneously, has said she decided to because it helps the girls, Emilynn, 3, and Addilynn, 1, feel ‘nurtured and connected’, adding that it also allows her spend quality time with both of them.

She told Kidspot,

‘This is how my girls feel nurtured and connected. I don’t nurse to prove a point and I don’t nurse to declare my superiority. I nurse for my girls. Some days that journey is hard and I want to quit, but others that journey is beautiful.

Breastfeeding allows me a time to be present with my girls where nothing else matters.

Whenever someone hears that I breastfeed, they always seem surprised by how old my kids are. Usually, they assume they misheard me and I must only nurse my younger daughter. When they find out both of my girls nurse and at the same time, I get their crazy eyes.

I have found that once people see us nursing, their understanding shifts. It is as if the picture in their mind was so foreign they couldn’t understand it.’

She admits her way of nursing ‘is not for everyone’ but adds, ‘it works for us. This is a way they get to connect that an lot of other siblings don’t.’

Would you try this out?
