Hi Christine,

Thank you for your reply! The mother really wants to exclusively breastfeed
but I see that you have a point about the increasing pumping frequency
contributin to her stress and fatigue. Perhaps the SNS can take care of
that.
I think she was able to nurse during her trip because that was when the
dairy allergy was out of his system, so his reflux and stiffness were fully
gone. Plus, she had also run out of her home-made raw milk formula, so they
had no other options.
Thanks!

Hoda
