Jude writes about a pregnant woman with serious aversion to breast touching.

I like Plan A (gradual desensitization) better than Plan B (pumping). If she
can't stand having baby at the breast, I can't imagine she'll find using a
pump terribly comfortable. If she is able to breastfeed, it's possible
she'll greatly diminish or get rid of the problems with breast contact.

Good for you to encourage her and give her something concrete to work on.
She might also want to consider doing gentle stroking and touching herself,
before having her husband begin.
