I think what your friend is doing is wonderful for her husband. Exactly what type of pump does she have? Some women just have trouble letting down for the pump. I Would suggest that she pump on one side while her daughter nurses on the other, her daughter can illicit the natural letdown and the pump can collect the milk. Once mom gets more comfortable with the pump, she will most likely get more milk. I don't have any articles on this, but I know that a few people on Lactnet have experience with this. There is also some info in the archives on this topic. You can go to this page : http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/archives/lactnet.html and search the archives of the list for years back. Please keep us informed.
