 From experience, I can tell you to BRING FOOD.  Homemade is ideal.  L&D 
has just started their own BF support group, and I haven't any idea 
what it will be like.  But the docs I visit have made more referrals 
and are more likely to pursue the diagnosis that the mom figures out 
from the info I am able to pass on to her.  I'm thinking yeast and 
tongue-tie here.

I have taken different things at different times, often corresponding 
to what I get calls about.  L&D uses a lot of nipple shields, and I 
hear about it, so I took them a pad of nipple shield tear-offs.  Peds 
told me everybody there quits at 6 weeks when maternity leave is over, 
so they got working/BF stuff.  BF after Csec pamphlets to the doc who 
does all the Csecs.  You get the picture.
