Maka,
Maybe this mom has never used a pump and so is having difficulty letting
down. Many moms do with a pump. Maybe she could have the syntocinon
concoction [check our archives] prepared for her. Also she could try hand
expressing to get letdown to occur then put pump on [of course she cuold
hand express onlyu anyway]. Also she could try relaxing music, singing a
song that she usually sings to the toddler, having someone rub her back or
put warm towels areound her shoulders - things to facilitate the letdown.
She is surely under great stress and worrry and this will inhibit letdown.
Hope some of this is helpful and best wishes to this family.
