Hi Would echo what Laurie has suggested (although I don't see a problem with
the Lactina and would definitely suggest Domperidone over
Metaclopramide)....Providing advice on how to pump hands free would be
useful and I would also suggest that she connect with her local peer
breastfeeding support org where she will find people who will provide moral
support and also use one of the online relactation support groups.
