>Dear Pearl,
This busy mother needs a consultation with a professional who can rule out
clinical pp depression. Should be done quickly. Breastfeeding or
breastmilk may not be the issue with her. She needs to get back to being
comfortable with herself and the life she has chosen. This may get worse
before it gets better. Getting help now may spare lots of grief for her and
her family in the months that follow. B Cambardella RN FACCE IBCLC

>my colleague noted a golf-ball sized lump under her right nipple that was
>painless and baby got less milk from that side during feeding weights. The
>lump was noted to be the same on 4/16, also on 4/16 mom started 3

>worse than the "cold" symptoms she reported on 4/1. The LC emailed the
