The elders were gathered for a chat, with Carolline Ruiz looking after the two children. Madelyn Lincoln's milk supply was insufficient; even one child wasn't being fed to fullness, so William Hawkins simply let both children be fed with formula.
"Why isn't there enough milk?" As a doctor, Carolline Ruiz thought that it was better for a child to be breastfed. Her own breast milk was decent when she had it, so perhaps Axel's good health had something to do with it.
"I don't know, the nurse came to check, and I did have the sensation of my breasts being swollen, but the children can't suckle." Madelyn Lincoln was also quite regretful. The two children were waiting to be fed, and she really wished they could be breastfed. The books she read before childbirth all advocated breastfeeding, claiming it was good for both child and mother.
