I received a call the other day from a mom who was registering for my  
prenatal breastfeeding class who told me she lost her first child who only lived 
 one day.  She also asked to bring her friend who also lost her first baby, 
 also on that first day.  They will likely be the only parents (Dads  
hopefully attending, too) in class.  I have some thoughts on how to address  
these poor mothers' losses and how the likelihood of higher anxiety regarding  
their second babies could impact their breastfeeding (I imagine they will be  
very vulnerable to interventions re feeding should babies not nurse well, 
be  jaundiced, etc).  I just thought getting input from others will help me 
not  to overlook anything that especially applies to these moms.  Thanks you 
in  advance.
