Once a few LCs had an education offering and a nurse from another area (not 
maternal-child) attended to learn more about bf. She had her infant with 
her. We all noticed how 'scrawny' and 'bad' the baby looked. After the 
session, this lady came to us crying, very upset. She realized that the baby 
was being starved. She had never been told about the milk surge, the diaper 
counts etc. It turns out this lady had a severe postpartum hemorrhage and 
apparently suffered Sheehan's syndrome. She became a client of ours but did 
have to supplement quite alot.
