I am also concerned that this mom;s desire to have the baby nurse for 
comfort, but not associate the breast with food, is not likely to end up 
anywhere but with nothing happening at the breast, at all.  It has been 
quite common for adoptive moms to do some feeding with bottles and comfort 
nursing.  That is about all I succeeded at doing with my first two kids, 19 
and 22 years ago.  However, it is pretty rare that the babies are willing to 
do that for very long.   Newborns often will but, IME, the majority of 
babies will lose interest in the breast by 2 or 3 months old, if all of 
their food is coming from a bottle.  If that is all the mother is interested 
in doing, that is one thing, but it sounds like this mom has a desire to 
keep some amount of suckling at the breast going on.  I would almost be 
willing to bet that the baby who cries to go to the breast would settle down 
and nurse happily, with the Lact-Aid there.
