Ann delivered twins at the age of 47

Ann Conlon-Smith, a mother in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA who lost a lot of blood after her caesarean delivery of twins at the age of 47, found herself with a low milk supply that lagged for three months.

"It was an awful time and I was terrified - I didn't know if I was 'too old to breastfeed' or just what had happened." Determined for her twins to receive no less than their singleton siblings did, Ann persevered and her milk supply did improve.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
