Dear Cheryl,

IMHO, would suggest increasing frequency of pumping with hospital grade
double electric to after every feed and go for use of herbals to quickly
increase supply.  Rationale: get baby off need for ABM to limit her exposure
to it.  With good positioning, bf one side, etc., the problem of oversupply,
should it arise, could be dealt with.  Also, and it sounds like mom is doing
this, BF every chance baby awake, even when baby not "asking" for it; wear
baby, skin contact and so on.  Hope this helps and good luck.  I had a mom
give up on relactation, but baby wouldn't take breast, had been off breast
for a much longer time and was four months, so this mom is "lucky."
