In reference to the mother who had nipple trauma, at least a portion of the
problem is probably emotional/mental.  Any mother who is led to believe that
she may not be able to breastfeed is very likely to not breastfeed
successfully.  Add to that the trauma of being molested and you are very
likely to see some serious mental blocks to something as intimate as bf.
Several resources were mentioned recently on Lactnet if I recall.  If those
people would be kind enough to repeat their information, you will probably
find the help she needs.
