My dad is the youngest of 6, all of whom were in college/married with kids when he was born. The age gap was significant enough that my aunt was pregnant at the same time as my grandma. Since my aunt's son and my dad were the same age, she would breastfeed them both when my grandma couldn't. As an adult, I understand how powerful beyond understanding this story of family bond and community is.
