Fiona,

       My main point to my response is that LLL Leaders and LCs are NOT
responsible if a mother quits.  If someone tells you or anyone else that she
quit because she didn't get a return call, she might as well say that she
didn't have enough milk.  It is just an excuse.  Why didn't she call again!
If a mom really wants to nurse, she will get help.  And if it is not from
you, she will FIND someone.  One time, I actually dealt with a persistent 12
year old (<no this is not a typo).  She was supposed to get assistance from
WIC, but for some reason or another no one helped her.  She called me and
several others.   She was very persistent.  I went over to her home to help
relieve initial engorgement, without pay, that afternoon!  If the mother is
determined enough, she will nurse her baby.
