Hi to all
I had a client who was very engorged. She did not have a pump available
and baby could not latch. It late in the evening and she was on an island.
SOOOO
I very carefully chose my words and asked if her husband or partner could
help her out? She said yes he could but she didn't want to suggest it. I
think the husband was just glad he did not have to go out looking for a
pump or worse yet, bring her across Sound on the ferry to our hospital. I
called her the next morning and hubby had solved the problem and now all
were happy.
All in a days work!
