Dear womyn,

Thankyou so much for all your replies, on and off list. There are too many to respond to individually, so please accept my thanks on the list. 

I have been helping this mum online, so haven't actually seen her IRL. I have forwarded on all your advice and thoughts and she is taking them all on board. She is really keen to continue to breastfeed and I believe there might be a few issues going on, contributing to the pain she is experiencing. 

I am working toward my IBCLC, (someone asked) and will start a cert. 4 in breastfeeding (councelling) through the aust. breastfeeding association to help gain some LC hours. This year I also start a GD of Nursing (Maternal and Child Health). 

I am really enjoying learning off the collaborative knowledge from Lactnet.

Blessings,
Rachael
