The even more latest update is that the latter mum has now decided, oh
joy of joys, to employ a professional LC! The LC seems to think the
problem is a congenital sucking problem compounded by nipple confusion
and they are beginning to work on it. I am absolutely thrilled - I
really didn't think the mother would carry on and it was all I could do
to persuade her to get to a LLL meeting on the off-chance someone had
any ideas, let alone part with hard-earned cash to seek professional
advice. She seems a lot more positive, and the LC did an excellent job
of getting her to see it as a problem to be tackled, rather than a sign
of her being a lousy mother. I am willing her to succeed :-)
