Hi Laura Beth

I'm keeping this brief and addressing only one point. Catherine Genna has
already beautifully addressed some other points for you in her post.

First of all, congratulations, you are doing great.  I am so happy for you
and your little girl Lily.  It is such a very special time, getting to know
each other and develop a bond, and it is lovely to have Lily at youg breast
now.

Some babies of 6 months or so old, using a supplemental feeding tube device,
want to pull at the tube or play with it.  One of my clients found ways
round this that worked for her.  One strategy was to cover the tube with her
clothes.  Later, when that didn't work, she held her baby's little hand
lovingly or played with her baby's hand, to distract her.  She also found,
for one of her babies, that lying down while using the supplementer seemed
to help.  These ideas may be useful, but perhaps you won't need them.

All the very best.

Our 6 month old baby girl Lily has been home with us for almost 2 weeks from
Korea...SHE IS BEAUTIFUL and FUN and SWEET and LOUD and she is NURSING!  We
are using donor milk and a Lact-aid now.  ....
anyway, anyone with personal experience with the lact-aid? I have so many
practical questions....
