Jean, don't feel bad about your approach to this mother.  I wish  everyone in 
the health field had the same approach and attitude.  There are  some but we 
need everyone (I'll even take a majority).
Telling a mother that her expressed milk along with her holding and caring  
for her premature baby is a medicine, is the truth and well founded.  
No one can make a mother breastfeed or pump but we all can certainly tell  
them this is the only way to help their babies.
Keep up the great work.  You never know, one of these moms you work  with 
might just find breastfeeding her premature baby enjoyable  too.
