Chris,
Would these things work in the absence of milk as with a new adoptive mom of
a 3 mo old just here from Korea? Baby's tongue is all over the place, and
she won't latch with a lactation aid on the breast. Mom is now pumping,
using herbs and bottle feeding, then trying to latch to breast when baby is
not hungry. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
