Robin:  Sounds like we're living parallel lives.  First, the Bravado has
been a great success with large breasted women--it's got a sports bra band
and back and top snapping (one-handed) closures, and it comes in great
colors.  Let me know if you need the address (it's in the New Beginnings ad
section).
        Second, I received many helpful suggestions about the sleepy baby
whom I'm assisting.  THANKS to everyone who has helped (so far, they're
still trying).  I finally found success with a combination of the Haberman
feeder, shells for inverted nipples worn continuously in between feeds),
and an electric pump; plus, I banished all relatives from their miniscule
apt. and "prescribed" lots of skin to skin contact/massage.  Nipple shields
were unsuccessful, as was the Hoffman maneuver.
        'Hope this helps...email me if you want more of the other LNers
suggestions.
Chris
