Ah, thyroid "a little low" is a major red flag. If she can take some synthroid to put her well into the normal range, she might see some improvement. Also, if the baby sucks actively for only 10 mins, she might want to take him off the breast after 10 mins, and either let him go back after a little break or pump for 10 mins or so. This pattern can be a better use of her time. And I really like the Lact-aid for supplementing at breast. BTW, I enjoyed your talk on the history of artificial feeding last March in Ohio.
