Some years back I did have a mom show up for a first consult without her newborn! She had latch issues and sore nipples but it just didn't occur to her to bring her nursing partner. For a long time afterward I would say to moms, "Now be sure to bring your baby!" and they would laugh.

Today a sweet father asked if they needed to bring the baby in on Monday for their f/u Breastfeeding Clinic visit. I smiled and said, 'If you don't, you'll need to go home to get her.'
