Cathy says:
"Most of all, we have to let go of other people's
choices.  The choice is hers to make, there is no one "right" thing you
can say to restore her resources or confidence or readjust her
priorities.  That can be hard some days, but it is necessary for us to
remain sane."

So true.  Sometimes it seems so unfair.  On the one hand I'll see a mom
like the one I described with possible insufficient mammary tissue that
wants so hard to make breastfeeding work and in the next room will be a
mom with "perfect" breasts that can't be bothered with nursing!  Same
thing for the mom with huge nipples that gets the baby with a tiny bird
mouth while the one with tiny nipples gets the kiddo with a mouth that
could get milk from a watermelon!  Sigh.
