Yes, Pat Gima still reads Lactnet discussions.

The topic of delayed MER interests me because of my years of success 
with Rescue Remedy in initiating MER.  Using 4-5 drops (or the amount 
that is in a squeezed dropper ) directly under the tongue does help 
in initiating an MER.  And what helped my clients even more reliably 
was putting it in water throughout the day, plus the direct dose 
before feeding.  Tension can accumulate as a day goes on.  Jan's Mom 
says that there is no stress at this time of the day, which I find 
surprising in a Mom with a six-month-old and an older child.   Your 
client may be a "mellow" kind of person who doesn't register 
tension's building up.

I had a client who had a 4-year-old, a 2-year-old, then had 
twins!  At my first visit I suggested that she put Rescue Remedy in 
her appropriate amount of water throughout the day and always in the 
large glass of water she kept beside her nursing station.  She said 
that it helped with feedings and her stress.  One morning her husband 
called me at 6:30AM and asked where he could get that "Rescue 
stuff."  He said that she ran out of it,  and that she was "mean" to 
everybody.  I took her a bottle and he left a message of thanks a 
couple of days later. (I carried it in my supplies.)

Jan, your client nursed exclusively till just recently.  Could 
introducing solids be part of the puzzle here?  Does she offer the 
solids at dinner time?  There can be an emotional shift with the 
introduction of solid foods, as it is the beginning of weaning.  Just 
a thought.  Rescue Remedy can help with this adjustment too.

Rescue Remedy has a calming effect for anyone in any circumstance 
when inner calm is needed.

I still use it regularly myself...before public speaking, attending a 
potentially stressful meeting, driving in snow, having my blood 
pressure measured in the doctor's office, or tending all three of my 
grandchildren, whose water pitcher has been "laced" before they come. 
It can help with a sleepless night--such as this one. Note the time sent!

I deeply appreciate all that you dedicated women are doing to help in 
healing our world--one baby at a time.  I also appreciate what 
Lactnet has done, and is still doing in connecting and supporting all of you.
