I want to start a B&B - a Breast and Breakfast. A place where moms  
can go after they leave the hospital, before they go home. They would  
get round the clock breastfeeding help until they are confident. They  
would get meals brought to them and linens changed. No medical stuff.  
Just a cozy homelike place where the mother is mothered.

Anyone want to fund this?

A "good" story - I worked with a mom a couple years ago who had had a  
breast reduction. She stands out as my most dedicated client. The  
first time I saw her, baby transferred 6 cc's. The third time she had  
tripled her supply and the baby transferred 18 cc's. She pumped with  
a Classic after most feedings because "by the end of the day I have  
enough for my husband to feed her a bottle of just breastmilk." She  
used an SNS and used Domperidone. I couldn't wait to see what would  
happen with her next baby.

She just had Baby #2 and she saw my partner and said "I can't do that  
again - and I want to rent a Classic."

She has been transferring 2 ounces, hears gulping and great weight  
gain with only 3-5 oz of formula supplementation. While I think she  
is awesome, she worries that she is starving her baby. I hope she  
will gain confidence with each weigh in. She is in our breastfeeeding  
hall of fame.
