Milk of Human Kindness: Nursing Moses

This is just a beautiful story. Breastfeeding Moms – you ALL deserve congressional honors!

breastfeeding They say it takes a village to raise a child, but in Marquette, Mich, all it took was the unwavering kindness of 20 mothers.

Back in January 2009, Susan Goodrich gave birth to a healthy baby boy before succumbing to a rare amniotic fluid embolism just 12 hours later, according to CNN.com.

Determined to give his son the breast milk he knew his wife wanted for the child, widower Robbie Goodrich was exploring his options when a friend offered to breast-feed the infant herself.

Soon, 20 other mothers followed suit, giving Moses an entire team of moms to nurse from.
