Jaye,
 
     I have been waiting for someone to mention the widely spaced breasts
that you mentioned.  That is a red flag.  You stated that her breasts
"looked" great other than the "5 inch space" between the breasts.
You also mentioned that you did not palpate the breasts, but that they
appeared well rounded.  I just want to mention that I have seen beautiful
full breasts only to palpate and feel nothing but fat.  Very little
glandular tissue felt.  So, I believe, that even tho she has "pretty"
breasts, she may be totally lacking in the necessary glandular tissue within
the breasts to support breastfeeding.  I also have moms try goats rue in
this scenario.  (along with increased stimulation by pumping)
