Karyn-grace,
MOBI (Mothers Overcoming Breastfeeding Issues) has an active group, many of
whom are dealing with low milk supply and questionable glandular tissue. It
is an excellent resource for mothers.

Hi Karyn-grace:
I've held off adding my 2 cents' worth, as others have contributed websites and mothers' groups that could provide you with more immediate help for your client.  
If you have access to an Australian journal, Breastfeeding Review, a case report I published there may be of interest.  It's about a mother with very little glandular tissue at all, who was able to keep her babies at breast for 2-4 years, even though most of their nutrition came from artificial baby milk.  She is a remarkable woman.  This mother didn't have tubular breasts, just proportionate breasts with limited glandular tissue and wide spacing.  The colour photos I submitted wouldn't reproduce in the article, unfortunately.  The photo of a Mum using a tube supplementer that the editor placed to accompany the article was of a woman who *did not* have insufficient glandular tissue.
The reference is:  
Thorley V. Breast hypoplasia and breastfeeding: a case history. Breastfeeding Rev 2005;13(2):13-16.
