Over the years I've noticed that the more mom focuses on the let-down, the
more problems she has.  I did it to myself in 1966 when I found Karen
Pryor's book, read the chapter about let-down (which I didn't know
existed),  focused on it and decided that I didn't have one!  (Ha! He
gained 1 lb (500 g) per week for the first 6 weeks!)

I'd go with a visualization tape (sounds of running water?),  relaxation
techniques, the herbs (for their normal effect on milk supply and placebo
effect), meds, a sugar pill for "let-down".  "Older" primips tend to be
career women who are used to being in control.  It's hard to step out and
blindly trust a milk supply!  As an obsessed cross stitcher I understand
the principle when I try to do free form embroidery!  I need a pattern!
Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
