A mother in San Jose has been charged in connection with the death of one of her 7-month-old twin daughters by suffocating her with her breast while trying to feed her.
On Friday, the Santa Clara County District Attorney charged Celina Juarez with the murder of that baby, Melani, as well as the child endangerment of her twin sister, Zari, on Nov. 4 at their home on Hurlingham Way.
Juarez admitted to detectives that she purposely held her breast against her girls's mouths as she was frustrated that they wouldn't latch on, police wrote. According to police, Juarez said that she picked up Melani and "intentionally pushed her baby very hard against her right breast not allowing her to come up for air," police said.
Then Juarez said she picked up her other baby, Zari, to feed her, pushing her onto her left breast, police said. She said she "pushed Zari very hard," against her breast, "without letting her come up for air," police wrote.
