Dear Ellen, the situation you told about just makes my hair stand on end!!!! I thought your answers were fine and I would opt for full BF with HMF via SNS as a good alternative. I would also try to persuade baby to directly BF as soon as possible, instead of via shield. What with shield, BF 3 x a day and trying to pump inbetween all the rest involved in bottle feeding, it's no wonder this poor mom's supply is dwindling. Exactly whose baby is it anyway?
