Jan, 
I agree that increasing the supply should help. How does he react to   that 
in the immediate sense ie. compression....or feeds where breasts are fuller? 
Has she tried pumping between feeds during day since they are spaced so far?
With babies of this age or older I also often wonder if this has become a 
power struggle of sorts between Mom and baby. Not in the traditional sense where 
child vies for power but in a more age appropriate sense; Mom worries about 
lack of feeding, tensely pushes baby to feed, baby feels this/begins to dread 
feeding etc..... I have been shocked many times by parents who become terrified 
by a baby's missed feeding or 2 or even 3.....-afraid they will starve or 
dehydrate at 17lbs! 
It has caused me to wonder how many mothers have abandoned breastfeeding d/t 
this very fear.
Never mind the fact that it is profoundly disrespectful of the baby-it 
infuriates me!, admittedly, however I may be way off track in terms of your 
situation!
I have also found it to be much more of an issue with former 
premies/medically fragile newborns.

Any suggestions for ME, on my post from a few days ago....:) -I only heard 
back from 1 other-thankyou Kathy Eng!
