I've found sometimes in this situation the mother does better when someone
is with her during the feed. They say " I wish all feeds were like this!"
Obviously we can't be with everyone at every feed! This is what gave me the
idea for an audio-casette for women to listen to while feeding. Some one is
talking to them and reassuring them and affirming their ability to
breastfeed, accompanied by relaxing music and visualisations.
The cassette was produced by Nursing Mothers Association of Australia and is
called "Softly, Softly, Relaxing to Breastfeed".
It was reviewed in JHL a year (or so??) ago.
(Any profit from the cassette goes to NMAA, not to me, in case you were
wondering!)
