i know bfar was discussed a day or two ago. someone mentioned when to tell
the mom to 'throw in the towel.' i would never be the one to do that. the
mother is the one to say that or not. as per dianne west's book 'defining
your own success." someone also asked how much time it would take. i have
had moms stop the bf after a few days. i really don't know if there is a pat
answer, but i would think that at least 2 to 3 weeks of fairly intense
stimulation (whilst feeding the baby any extra as needed) would be needed to
see what a mom's potential might be.
