I've been doing this for too many years and have not encountered it 
frequently at all.  One mom quit and was happier with bottle.  One mom used 
a supplementer and was happy to be providing about 1/2 the baby's milk, 
another mom just used the more normal functioning breast.  You have to 
remember that these moms have had body image problems since their teens. Now 
that these breasts don't function well is just saying "you're defective " 
:-(  I go with the line that you've got what God gave you and aren't we 
lucky in this day and age that there is a answer (formula).  Centuries ago 
you would have had to find someone to nurse the baby for you or even watch 
your baby decline and die.

It is very sad, especially if no one (like OB or CNM) had warned her after 
checking her breasts in a prenatal exam :-(  It is really awful  and unfair 
and negligent  if they go into delivery unaware that they might be going to 
have a problem. I tell moms with abnormally shaped breasts that you have to 
wait and see what they will do and go from there.  If they know beforehand, 
it gives them time to prepare mentally.  Pat   in SNJ
