I came to know about La Leche League Botswana when the twins were around 8 weeks old. Before then, I did not have much information on breastfeeding, but I had always known in my heart that I wanted to breastfeed my babies. The reality of a twin pregnancy had me worried though, I wondered whether I could really do this and I didn’t have many examples of successfully breastfed twins.

Then came my journey with the twins; they were born at 34 weeks gestation. They were kept in hospital, one was in ICU initially and then in high care for a week. The second one was in high care for a month. They were taken to two different wards!
