Thanks to everyone who replied about the situation I posted. I am overwhelmed with the number of replies I got privately. Many great suggestions. I loved the idea of the skin to skin in sling under her clothes (thanks Johanna).
I spoke to the mother today (it was only yesterday that I saw her) and she managed one skin to skin nap in the morning while other kids are in school, and she increased pumping frequency from 4 or 5 to about 8 times though unable to get the better pump as of now. She has decided to take the approach of not offering the breast for a few days while trying to build supply. Home conditions are not good for co-bathing, but night time skin to skin and the sling under clothes idea both appealed to her. I'm not sure yet how this will progress but this mother REALLY is trying. I think motivation is about 90% in these difficult cases.
