Hello, Thanks so much to everyone that answered my questions about thalassemia. I spoke with the mother on Monday and she had decided that she could not continue breastfeeding. She said that she was relieved to be pumping and breastmilk feeding. I offered to refer her to another LC but she said that she had already wasted a week of her maternity leave on sore nipples and daily weigh ins with baby's doctor. I am sad that she was not able to get the info that she needed from myself or the LC that she was seeing. I guess we can't win them all.
