Hello.
Concerning the woman who has a breast phobia,
I think in this case I would focus on her TRYING to
breastfeed. Since we will never know what the true
issue is(ie abuse, shyness etc) the chances of her
breastfeeding is more than likely small. I think it is
very important that this mama feels a since of control
and success. As much as I know about breastfeeding, I
also know what is best for baby is a happy healthy
mama.Maybe she could "nurse' her baby even if she
chooses to bottle feed by changing arms looking at
babies eyes etc.
I would tread gently and with much love with her.
Good luck to her and you,
